Missionary tropics : the Catholic frontier in India, 16th-17th centuries
By focusing on the Jesuit missionary's discovery of Indian ""pagan"" Hinduism, this book traces the stages of the Jesuit's disconcerting journey into religious relativism or accommodation. It files the construction of the Indian vernacular Catholicism through a complex layering of missionary religious and social intentions and indigenous responses.
