Spread of Christianity in India up to AD 1500: Dynamics of Difference examines the history of the St. Thomas Christians, and unravels the complex socio-economic and cultural processes by which this community navigated its unique identity within a space where Eastern Syriac liturgical traditions, Indic cultural practices, and Christian religious beliefs intersected. The St. Thomasites’ internal struggle to define what it meant to be an ‘Indian Christian’ was influenced by faith and trade-related networks with Persia, the community’s overwhelming tilt towards the Seleucia-Ctesiphon Church, and local Indic cultural practices by which their everyday social and cultural life was shaped. This volume analyses what it means to constitute the Indian-Christian community vis-à-vis its complex history, its locality-specific behaviours, and the challenges it faced over time. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of sociology of religion and the history of Christianity in South Asia.
