Detailed Description

A CBE exclusive, Indian and Christian is a compilation of fifteen essays that shed new light on an important reformer in modern India, the Brahmin widow and Sanskrit scholar, Pandita Ramabai. The essays focus on different facets of her remarkable life, including her lifelong efforts to uplift Hindu women, her completion of a translation of the entire Bible into Marathi, her complex conversion, and her relation to the early stages of the worldwide Pentecostal movement.

Roger E. Hedlund taught missiology at Union Biblical Seminary, Yavatmal/Pune, and at Serampore College. He serves as Managing Editor of Dharma Deepika: A South Asian Journal of Missiological Research and as Chief Editor of the forthcoming Dictionary of South Asian Christianity. His publications include Quest for Identity: India's Churches of Indigenous Origin, God and the Nations: A Biblical Theology of Mission in the Asian Context, and several edited works, articles, and reviews.

Sebastian Kim is Professor of Theology and Public Life in the Faculty of Education and Theology of York St John University, UK. He is a Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society and the author of In Search of Identity: Debates on Religious Conversion in India and co-author of Christianity as a World Religion. He was formerly Director of the Christianity in Asia Project and taught World Christianity at the Faculty of Divinity of the University of Cambridge. He is founding and current Editor of the International Journal of Public Theology.

Rajkumar Boaz Johnson is Professor and Chair of Biblical and Theological Studies at North Park University in Chicago where he is casually known as the "slumdog professor"—a take on the 2009 Academy Award winning movie, Slumdog Millionaire. That's because, like the title character in the film, Boaz Johnson grew up in the slums of India. Most of his childhood friends were illegally trafficked into slavery, and none that he can recall lived beyond age 30. "My style of teaching is quite 'Indian non-linear," he describes. "It is more inline with making disciples, just like the rabbis in the Bible and the gurus in India."
