A Reply To The Letters Of The Abbe Dubois, On The State Of Christianity In India (1824) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781164546016)

""A Reply to the Letters of the Abbe Dubois, on the State of Christianity in India"" is a book written by James Hough in 1824. The book is a response to the letters written by the Abbe Dubois, a French missionary who spent over thirty years in India. Dubois' letters were critical of the state of Christianity in India and argued that the religion was not well-suited to the Indian way of life.In his reply, Hough defends Christianity and argues that it is a universal religion that can be adapted to any culture. He also criticizes Dubois' approach to missionary work, arguing that it is too focused on converting individuals rather than transforming society as a whole. Hough draws on his own experiences as a missionary in India to support his arguments and provides a detailed analysis of the challenges faced by Christians in India.Overall, ""A Reply to the Letters of the Abbe Dubois"" is an important work that sheds light on the complex relationship between Christianity and Indian culture in the early 19th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian missions in India or the broader history of religion in India.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
