| Contents | India and political change, 1706-86 -- The Tranquebar mission -- The Thomas Christians in decline and recovery -- Roman Catholic missions -- Anglicans and others -- The suppression of the Jesuits -- The new rulers and the Indian peoples -- Government, Indians and missions -- Bengal, 1794-1833 -- New beginnings in the South -- The Thomas Christians in light and shade -- Anglican development -- The recovery of the Roman Catholic missions -- Education and the Christian mission -- Protestant expansion in India -- Indian society and the Christian message -- Towards an Indian church -- The great uprising. |
| Summary | This book, a sequel to Bishop Neill's A History of Christianity in India: The Beginnings to 1707, traces its subject from the death of Aurunzib to the so-called Indian Mutiny. The history of India since 1498 is of a tremendous confrontation of cultures and religions. Since 1757, the chief part in this confrontation has been played by Britain; and the Christian missionary enterprise, especially on its educational side, has had a very important role. This book depicts with admirable fairness all the various forms of Christian faith that have made contact with India. In this volume, the Indian voice in the controversy begins clearly to be heard. Bishop Neill had hoped it would be heard even more clearly in a third volume tracing the story to Independence in 1947 and the formation of the Church of South India in which he himself played so prominent a part. Unfortunately, he died before he could write it. |
