| Sumario: | Raj (religious studies, Albion College) and Dempsey (religious studies, U. of Wisconsin-Stevens Point) argue that expressions of Christianity in India were largely unexplored by scholars and that when they were examined, they were largely top-down treatments from the standpoint of Christian power "solving" problems of the Indian other. In presenting these 12 essays, they hope to counteract these failings of scholarship by exploring how Christianity is lived in daily practice and how it interacts with other religious traditions. The papers look at hybrid Christian identities as revealed in festivals and rituals; gender, class, and other struggles over definitions of religious authority; and the uniquely Indian expressions of Christian theology.
