Overview

This book traces the history of Christianity from its inception around AD 40 when St.Thomas the Apostle landed in Taxila. Later he came down to Kerala and had esstablished church from the north to south all over India. This had its impact on local religions and the vedic religions which eventually syncretized to give rise to modern Hinduism. This gnostic (New Age) seperation did give rise to redefinition from contact with the World wide Christian Churches. Later Colonisation brought in various denominations into India. The book tells it all in a nutshell
