An Indian church in an alien land: the contribution of the Tinnevelly mission of CMS towards the Ceylon Tamil Mission / - Colombo, SL, National Christian Evangelical Alliance of Sri Lanka ©2022 - 373 pages 21 cm
The author has taken a very important, but so far neglected, area of Christian history in South Asia. It covers the history of Christianity in a subaltern community. He sees how this community contributed to their own method of evangelism in an era of imperialism with and without missionary encouragement. The author has consulted archival material as well as modern historical writings in order to present an accurate and readable account of the Christian history of this community. He, sympathetically and impartially, delves into the concerns of this down-trodden community in the era of British domination, This book will be an asset to students and scholars, who are interested in the history of South Asia, and in particular, the history of Christianity in South India.
