This book presents historical and theological insight into the Church of North India against the background of the modern missionary movement, Indian nationalism and the church union negotiations. The questions of Christian identity, the nature of the church and the appropriate form of Christianity in India are evaluated with a view to present an ecumenical ecclesiology by interrelating three basic categories of narrative, doctrine and institution.
