Book Deccan in Transition  1600 to 1800

Download or read book Deccan in Transition 1600 to 1800 written by Umesh Ashok Kadam and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the socio-cultural and historical trajectories of the Deccan plateau as well as the coastal areas of the current states of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Goa. It studies the art of diplomacy by discussing the diplomatic relations between the Marathas and various European companies, as well as the indigenous regional states. The author also probes into the Maratha naval policy, the evolution of a composite Deccani culture and the cultural flux that was taking place within the Maratha country. Through an interdisciplinary lens, the volume examines how caste and gender relations operated, how the idea of dissent was generated as well as the socio-political impact of various linguistic, ethnic and religious groups. Through a study of monuments, sculpture and paintings prevalent in the region, the book also discusses the developments in art and architecture in the Deccan. Rich in archival sources, this book is a must read for scholars and researchers of Indian history, colonial history, South Asian history, Maratha history and history in general.

Book Shamans  Lamas  and Evangelicals

Download or read book Shamans Lamas and Evangelicals written by C R BAWDEN Fba and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985, Shamans, Lamas and Evangelicals tells the little known yet fascinating story of a missionary venture to Eastern Siberia in the year 1818. Two missionaries, one English, one Swedish, with the tiresome voyage across the Baltic behind them, set out with their wives to face the daunting prospect of a 3000-mile journey by sledge across the rough snow roads of Siberia in the depths of winter. The mission was unusual in its conception. Established by the London Missionary Society and the backing of the Tsar, Alexander I, its aim was to bring the Christian gospel to the Buryats, and, once that was accomplished, to cross into China, evangelize the Mongols there, and then set about the conversion of the Chinese. The mission failed, but it was nonetheless an extraordinary episode. It is the story of men who first had to learn Russian in order to teach themselves Mongolian, who brought up their families, founded schools, treated the sick, and translated the entire Bible into Mongolian, printing the Old Testament on their own local press. This is an interesting historical reference work for scholars and researchers of Russian history and Mongolian history.

Book excerpt: A deeper understanding of the grand history of mission leads to a faithful expression of God's mission today. From the beginning, God's mission has been carried out by people sent around the world. From Abraham to Jesus, the thread that weaves its way throughout Scripture is a God who sends his people across the world, proclaiming his kingdom. As the world has evolved, Christian mission continues to be a foundational tradition in the church. In this one-volume textbook, Edward Smither weaves together a comprehensive history of Christian mission, from the apostles to the modern church. In each era, he focuses on the people sent by God to the ends of the earth, while also describing the cultural context they encountered. Smither highlights the continuity and development across thousands of years of global mission.
