It delves into the fascinating journey of certain Christian missionaries who have endeavored to infuse Christianity with Advaita Vedantic undertones in various Indian contexts. The book then proceeds to analyze how STA, while drawing upon and differing from existing practices of inculturation, uniquely manifests these influences. By highlighting the distinctive features of STA, this book provides valuable new ethnographic data on the topics of Indian Christianity, Christian missiology, and Hindu-Christian relations. Moreover, it contributes to ongoing discussions about multiple religious orientations, existential belonging, and the complex negotiations that arise when individuals and communities seek to invite or belong alongside individuals whose proclaimed faiths differ from their own. Written in a clear and accessible style, the book is suitable for undergraduate students as well as offering specialists fresh qualitative data and insightful theoretical reflections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 500g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 241 x 165 x 23 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350238169\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NadyaPohran","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44094400135418,"sku":"9781350238169","price":84.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1658492661290_book.jpg?v=1658737198","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/invitation-and-belonging-in-a-christian-ashram-building-interreligious-community-in-northern-india-9781350238169","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
