An Archaeo-linguistic Perspective on the Origins of Indian Christianity
If you want to discover the hidden origin of Indian Christianity, then keep reading .....
This is an archaeo-linguistic study of the origin of Indian Christianity, especially the Syriac Christianity of South India. This is most likely the first time archaeological evidence from Afro-Eurasian trade routes has been analysed and compared to determine the possible migration of Christianity to South Asia and its connections with early Christianity. The claims of the churches and respective church historians were scrutinised based on material evidence (archaeological) and cross-checking with canonical, hagiographic, and other Gnostic literature. The result may question conventional historical narratives and popular beliefs. Modern scientific studies like linguistics, ceramics, semiotics, numismatics, genetics, codicology, etc. are used in this book to verify the results.
