An Apology For Promoting Christianity In India (1814) - Claudius Buchanan - Bog

An Apology For Promoting Christianity In India is a book written by Claudius Buchanan and published in 1814. The book is an apology, or defense, of the author's efforts to promote Christianity in India during his time as a chaplain to the East India Company. Buchanan argues that Christianity is a universal religion that can benefit people of all cultures and backgrounds, including those in India. He cites historical examples of successful Christian missions in other parts of the world and argues that the same can be achieved in India. The book also addresses criticisms of Christian missionaries in India, including accusations of cultural imperialism and attempts to convert people through coercion. Buchanan argues that these criticisms are unfounded and that Christian missionaries in India are simply trying to share a message of love and salvation with those who are willing to hear it. Overall, An Apology For Promoting Christianity In India is a passionate defense of Christian missionary work in India during the early 19th century. It provides insight into the motivations and beliefs of Christian missionaries at the time, as well as the challenges they faced in trying to spread their message in a culturally diverse and complex society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
