Opis

The tension between Hinduism as an ancient Indian religion and Christianity as a religion associated with foreign power and colonialism, continues to animate Hindu-Christian relations today. The handbook describes both the rich history of productive Hindu-Christian encounters, and moments of conflict between Hindus and Christians.
