Reviews

"His distinctive contribution lies in his theological analysis of both Hindu objections to conversion and of the reflections on the meaning of conversion among Indian theologians prompted by those objections and by wider changes in Christian theological thinking of the twentieth century. The clear style and broad scope of the book will make it a useful introfuction to the topic even for undergraduate students." --Religious Studies Review
