A History of Christianity in India: The Beginnings to AD 1707 | First Indian Edition by Stephen Neill

A History of Christianity in India: The Beginnings to AD 1707 by Stephen Neill is a major historical study of the origins, development, and expansion of Christianity in India from its earliest beginnings through the opening years of the eighteenth century.

Now available as the first Indian edition from Noah’s Ark Publishers, this important work makes Stephen Neill's study of Indian Christianity available in an edition specifically published for readers in India.

Neill traces the complex history of Christianity on the Indian subcontinent across many centuries, examining the traditions surrounding the earliest Christian presence in India, the ancient Christian communities of South India, encounters between Indian Christianity and churches outside India, the arrival of European Christian powers and missionaries, and the significant developments that shaped Christianity in India up to AD 1707.

For students of Indian church history, this is more than a general introduction. Stephen Neill brings together ecclesiastical, missionary, cultural, and historical developments to present Christianity as an important part of the wider history of India.

The book is especially valuable for pastors, theological students, seminary and Bible-college libraries, church historians, researchers, missionaries, Christian institutions, and readers interested in the historical roots of Christianity in India.

The Indian-edition cover appropriately reflects this history through its map of India and references to historically significant locations, including Goa, Mylapore, Muziris, and Tranquebar.
