Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history and context of the Church of Scotland's involvement in India, focusing on educational missions in the region. The author begins by examining the precedents set by Christianity's spread in earlier periods, as well as challenges faced by both early and contemporary Christian missions. These include persecution, secularism, and opposition from professed allies. The author traces the development of the Church of Scotland's India mission, from its founding in 1824 to the acceptance of government grants in 1856. This decision was controversial, with opponents claiming that it compromised religious principles. The author examines both sides of the debate, presenting arguments for and against the acceptance of the grants. Underlying the specific historical events is an exploration of the complex relationship between religious education and secular authority. As the author shows, the question of how to provide religious instruction in a pluralistic society has been a recurring issue throughout history. This book makes a valuable contribution to this ongoing discussion by providing a detailed case study of a specific historical instance.
