About this title

Synopsis

Mission at and from the Margins: Patterns, Protagonists and Pespectives 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 Abdhra Pradesh, where Christianity is predominantly Dalit in its composition, this collection of essays ushers its readers to reshape their understanding of the landscape of mission history by drawing their attention to the silences and absences within predominant historical accounts.
