Protestant Origins in India: Tamil Evangelical Christians, 1706-1835

This historical narrative of Protestantism in India records the views of the Tamil-speaking peoples among whom German Pietists worked beginning in 1706. The views recorded here include those of Hindus, Muslims, and Catholics, but special attention is given to Tamils who became Evangelicals. Drawing on concrete historical analysis, Tamil writings, and archival materials, D. Dennis Hudsons work not only illumines a little-known period of religious history but also raises significant questions about the relationship between faith and culture.
