A History of Christianity in India: 1707–1858 | First Indian Edition by Stephen Neill

A History of Christianity in India: 1707–1858 by renowned church historian Stephen Neill is a major historical study of Christianity in India during a period of remarkable religious, missionary, political, and social change.

Published as the First Indian Edition by Noah’s Ark Publishers, this volume continues Neill's important history of Indian Christianity, covering the period from 1707 to 1858.

The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries witnessed major developments in the history of Christianity in India. Neill carefully examines the growth of Christian missions, the emergence of new missionary movements, encounters between Christianity and Indian society, and the historical circumstances that shaped the development of churches across the subcontinent.

The period covered by this volume includes some of the most significant chapters in the history of Protestant Christianity and missions in India. It is therefore an important resource not only for studying missionary history but also for understanding the wider development of Indian Christianity and the Indian Church.

Written with historical depth and scholarly attention, this volume is especially valuable for pastors, theological students, seminary professors, church historians, missionaries, researchers, Christian institutions, and readers interested in the history of Christianity in India.

Together with The Beginnings to AD 1707, it forms an important two-volume historical study of Christianity in India by Stephen Neill.
