A history of the CHAI History of Christianity in India project - in the General Editors' own words.
Dr. D. V. Singh, General Editor, Bishop's College, Calcutta wrote in February 1983:


The six volume history of Christianity in India was first launched at the Triennial meeting of the Church History Association of India held at Dharmaram College, Bangalore in 1973...
The first meeting of the Editorial Board was held at the Andhra Christian Theological College at Secundarabad, in February, 1974. The deliberations of this meeting were formulated in the form of a 'Scheme' which envisaged that this history be written in six volumes with a single perspective... It was decided that the first three volumes would be written by single authors; and the last three volumes, which deal with the 19th and 20th centuries, will each have an editor, with histories of different regions being written by authors knowledgeable in the region...

This "Scheme" prepared in 1974 envisaged that the work would be completed within five years! This proved too optimistic...Volume II of the series was published in 1982. Volume I is now placed in your hands in 1983. It is expected that volume III will be published in 1984

Dr. A. M. Mundadan,

the current General Editor, adds, from Dharmaram College, Bangalore, Christmas, 1997:

The story of writing that history was equally a chequered one. Volume II was published in 1982, and Volume I in 1984 (both reprinted 1989). Vol. IV, Part 2 in 1990; Vol.V, Part 5 in 1992. And Volume III in 1997."

This book is Volume III of a six-volume series on the History of Christianity in India prepared under the guidance of a distinguished editorial board and published from Bangalore by the interdenominational Church History Association of India.

During that lengthy period, he gained familiarity with the languages and cultures of many regions of India and became a prime mover of studies in the history of the Church in India. Several books...

History of Christianity in India: Tamilnadu in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, vol. 4, pt. 2.

(International Bulletin of Missionary Research, John C. Webster, 1 April, 1993)

This is the third book in the Church History Association of India's (CHAI) multivolume history of Christianity in India and the first one dealing with the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. CHAI's guidelines call for a history that is ecumenical in scope and treats Christianity as part of the sociocultural history of the Indian people. These pose a serious challenge, especially since the southern state of Tamilnadu has a large and diverse Christian population with a long history. Dr. Hugald Grafe, a missionary in India 1961-75 and currently a secretary of the Evangelical Lutheran ...
