Download or read book Hindu Catholic Encounters in Goa written by Alexander Henn and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The state of Goa on India's southwest coast was once the capital of the Portuguese-Catholic empire in Asia. When Vasco Da Gama arrived in India in 1498, he mistook Hindus for Christians, but Jesuit missionaries soon declared war on the alleged idolatry of the Hindus. Today, Hindus and Catholics assert their own religious identities, but Hindu village gods and Catholic patron saints attract worship from members of both religious communities. Through fresh readings of early Portuguese sources and long-term ethnographic fieldwork, this study traces the history of Hindu-Catholic syncretism in Goa and reveals the complex role of religion at the intersection of colonialism and modernity.
Download or read book Churches and Convents of Goa written by Annabel Lopez and published by India Book House. This book was released on 2002 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built during the 16th and 17th centuries AD, the churches and convents of Goa -- the former capital of the Portuguese in India -- illustrate the evangelization of India. The book traces the spread of Christianity in Goa, the historic development of the churches and convents, particularly the Se Cathedral Complex, and the influence of European building styles on the indigenous architecture. Se Cathedral, one of the largest churches in Old Goa, is built in the Portuguese-Gothic style. With a Tuscan interior and a Corinthian exterior, its main altar is dedicated to St. Catherine of Alexandria; paintings on either side depict scenes from her life. An interesting example of religious architecture is the Church of St. Francis of Assisi, adorned with gilded and carved woodwork, murals portraying scenes from the life of St. Francis, and a floor made substantially of carved gravestones. Briefly touching upon the building traditions and technology, the book also talks about other monuments and churches in Goa.

Download or read book Heaven s Gates and Hell s Flames written by Savio Abreu and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pentecostal-Charismatic Christianity is one of the largest religious movements in the world today. It is a recent form of Christianity that emphasizes direct personal experience of God through baptism with the Holy Spirit. While the literature on Pentecostalism is constantly rising, they mostly focus on Western societies and are from a theological perspective. There is a dearth of well-researched studies that critically analyse the phenomenon of Pentecostal–Charismatic Christianity in India. Addressing this gap, Heaven’s Gates and Hell’s Flames focuses on groups at the periphery of the religious space in Goa, while locating them within Christianity globally. It broadens our understanding of Pentecostal–Charismatic Christianity in Goa as a rapidly expanding and overtly evangelistic movement within a pluralist, non-Christian society. Abreu assesses the impact of religion on society, analysing how the symbols, beliefs, rituals, and organizational structure of the neo-Pentecostal sects and the Catholic Charismatic Renewal influence religious identities, world views, and the everyday life activities of individual adherents. This the author does by drawing on extensive fieldwork, concepts, analyses, and interpretations provided by scholars of religion in sociology, anthropology, history, as well as theology.

Download or read book To Serve God in Holy Freedom written by Daniel Michon and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-08-13 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents one of the first accounts of Christianity in colonial India by a nun. Set in Goa in the early eighteenth century, this translation of Soror Magdalena’s account from Portuguese brings to life a watershed moment in the politics of Christian faith in early colonial India. The volume recounts the nuns’ rebellion against the then Archbishop of Goa, Dom Frei Ignaçio de Santa Teresa. In their account they accused him of mistreating the nuns and implored the Superior General and the King of Portugal to replace him. It sketches the intricate relationships between the nuns themselves, the clerical and secular authorities, the fidalgos and the lower classes, Hindus and Catholics, and nuns and priests. It goes on to discuss the convent’s finances and the controversies surrounding them, the politics of the Church, as well as contemporary preoccupations with miracles and demons. Expertly annotated and introduced by Daniel Michon and David Addison Smith, this book is key to understanding Portuguese colonial rule in India. It will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of South Asian studies, Portuguese studies, religion, especially Christianity, and colonialism.
