Sobre IBD

Hindu and Christian debates over the meanings, motivations, and modalities of ’conversion’ provide the central connecting theme running through this book. It focuses on the reasons offered by both sides to defend or oppose the possibility of these cross-border movements, and shows how these reasons form part of a wider constellation of ideas, concepts, and practices of the Christian and the Hindu worlds.It draws upon historical case-studies of Christian missionaries and of Hindus who encountered these missionaries.
