Colonial missionaries, both Catholic and Protestant, arrived in India with the grandiose vision of converting the pagans because, like St. Peter (Acts 4:12) and most of the church fathers, they honestly believed that there is no salvation outside the church (extra ecclesiam nulla salus). At the end of the "great Protestant century," however, Christians made up less than 3 percent of the population in India, and the hope of the missionary was nearly shattered. But if one looks at mission in India qualitatively rather than quantitatively, one sees a number of positive outcomes. Missionaries in India, particularly Protestant missionaries espousing the social gospel, in collaboration with a few British evangelical administrators, dared to challenge numerous social evils and even began to eradicate them. The scientific and liberal English education began to enlighten and transform the Indian mindset. Converts belonging to the upper caste, although small in number, laid the foundation stone of Indian theology and an inculturated church using Indian genius. The end of colonialism in India coincided with the painful death of colonial mission theology. Now, the power of the Word of God, extricated from political power, is slowly and peacefully gaining ground, like the mustard seed of the parable. A paradigm shift from the ecclesio-centric mission to missio Dei offers reason for further optimism. In short, the future of mission in India is as bright as the kingdom of God. In today's new context, theologians, despite objections from some quarters, are struggling to discover the Asian face of Jesus, disfigured by the Greco-Roman Church. And the missionary is challenged to become a living Bible that, undoubtedly, everyone will read.

The Christian community in India emerged from an Indian rather than a foreign or an imperial context. Its internal dynamics were shaped far more by Indian social realities than by missionary designs. This book presents a comprehensive social history of Christianity in north-west India, comprising Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, the Union Territories of Delhi and Chandigarh, and the Pakistani Punjab and North-West Frontier Province. The book discusses significant events in the history of the north-west up to 1947, after which it focuses only on India. These events left a lasting impact on Christianity and shaped its future course, culminating in the transfer of churches’ power from foreign missionaries to Indians and proliferation of churches, and the ongoing struggles of the Christian community. The author pays special attention to the Christian community’s caste composition—how caste status and social mobility affected intra- and inter-community relations—religious diversity, uneven demographic distribution, and development, as well as Christianity as a religious movement in the region.

Mission At and From the Margins: Patterns, Protagonists and Perspective revisits the 'hi-stories' of Mission from the 'bottom up' paying critical attention to people, perspectives and patterns that have often been elided in the construction of mission history. Focusing on the mission story of Christian churches in the South Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, where Christianity is predominantly Dalit in its composition, this collection of essays, ushers its readers to re-shape their understanding of the landscape of mission history by drawing their attention to the silences and absences within pre-dominant historical accounts. Contributors drawn from various Christian denominations explore not only the complex, contested and complicated interplay between caste, colonialism and Christianity in Andhra Pradesh but also the contemporary challenges for Christian mission at a wider level. Not confining itself to the past history of Christian mission, the book engages critical issues as it analyses the missiological challenges of the present and offers theological imagination for the future of mission, which, while embracing the voices and visions of the margins, resists any and all forms of marginalization. Joseph Prabhakar Dayam and Peniel Jesudason Rufus Rajkumar have complied a comprehensive, compelling, creative, and contextual mission manual on how oppressed communities (Dalits) invent novel patterns, spawn unexpected protagonists, and extract new perspective through the celebration and spread of the Christian Gospel in South India. While familiar with the various bird's eye views of Christian mission in India, these feet-on-the-ground theologians, historians, biblical scholars, and missiologists included in this volume offer a plethora of snail's crawl standpoints on the working of mission by focusing on the vibrant and productive features of the margins. In this edited book, Dayam and Rajkumar have woven an ethnographically rich and missiologically sophisticated south Indian tapestry from the colorful local spinning wheels of rural, outcast, and neglected Christian communities. Sathianathan Clarke, Bishop Sundo Kim Chair for World Christianity, Professor of Theology, Culture and Mission, Wesley Theological Seminary Peniel Jesudason Rufus Rajkumar, is Programme Executive for Interreligious Dialogue and Cooperation with the World Council of Churches, Geneva. He was earlier Associate Professor of Christian Social Ethics at the United Theological College, Bangalore. Joseph Prabhakar Dayam is convener of Collective of Dalit Ecumenical Christian Scholars (CODECS) and Associate Professor of Systematic and Philosophical Theology at the Gurukul Lutheran Theological College and Research Institute, Chennail India.
