Description

This English translation of an award-winning German work explores the social and religious history of 18th century South India through the lives of Indian workers at the Tranquebar Mission (1706-1845). The book challenges conventional narratives about Christianity in colonial India by demonstrating that local converts and mission co-workers made significant contributions to the Tranquebar Mission's success, rather than Christianity being simply imposed from outside. Through compelling biographies and day-to-day accounts, author Heike Liebau reveals how Indian workers shaped the mission's development and offers a more nuanced understanding of cultural and religious encounter during this transformative period.

Key Features

Explores the Tranquebar Mission from 1706-1845 through biographical narratives of local Indian workers and converts.

Challenges traditional colonial narratives by documenting the active role Indian co-workers played in the mission's history.

Based on an award-winning German book, now translated into English for broader academic and general readership.

Combines social and religious history with individual stories that illuminate everyday life in 18th and 19th century South India.
