Bharatbandhu William Carey And Indian Rennaissance

Description

About the book

This excellent volume was written in Connection with the William Carey Centenary Celebrations held by the William Carey Study and Research Centre (WCSRC), Calcutta.
Contemporary Indian Christianity, due to the conflicting and sometimes antagonistic cross currents, both in the Indian Polity as well as in our socio-cultural milieu, is poised at a critical juncture. In this situation it is necessary that Indian Church reiterates and rethink the concept of mission.
