Description
by
George M. Ella (Author)
The history of Christian evangelism in India is a story woven into the narrative of colonialism, expansionism, military power, politics and trade. But it is also the story of individuals, men and women, who felt the call of God to carry their faith to faraway places out of love for their fellow man, and in obedience to the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Dr George Ella; missionary, author and historian, supplies us with unique insights into this great Gospel work. Being in the rare position of having access to historical records in multiple languages from original sources, he shows how European missionaries from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century from different countries and denominations worked hand in hand to established churches and spread the Gospel in India.
