| Summary |
"This book highlights the transformative potential of democratic Church and Christian community in India. While it invokes the need to democratize Indian Christianity, it explores internal challenges - of caste, class and gender divides - confronting Indian Christianity today. A major contribution to religious studies in India, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of religion, especially in the field of church history, theology, South Asian studies, politics and sociology"-- Provided by publisher |
