Drawing from many disciplines, this volume unearths the multifaceted terrain of festivals, rituals, saints, miracle workers, missionaries, and visionaries in Christian India, providing a wonderful glimpse of its richness and complexities. The contributors reveal the ways in which local Christian traditions deftly challenge assumed divisions and power imbalances between East and West, Hindu and Christian, foreign and indigenous, and elite and local expressions. Whether forging complicated religious, caste, and national identities, employing religious hybridity to promote well-being, or asserting autonomy within oppressive social and religious structures, local Christianity provides a crucial means for its participants to manage their earthly needs and desires. 410 0$aSUNY Series in Hindu Studies 606 $aChristianity$zIndia 607 $aIndia$xChurch history 615 0$aChristianity 676 $a275.4 701 $aRaj$b Selva J$01593601 701 $aDempsey$b Corinne G$01130031 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808156403321 996 $aPopular Christianity in India$93976834 997 $aUNINA
