'...festive volume...an eminent example of mission history...but rather a lively picture of the [...]joyful encounter of Christianity with Asian religions and cultures.'Karel Steenbrink, Exchange, 2000.‘Along with appreciation for the insights given from such detailed studies, and for the unexpected glimpses of Christian presence in significant periods and neglected places, I value expecially this re-orientation to local Church history in the region which is presented, as integral to the larger socio-cultural history of a people.’John C. England, Asia Journal of Theology, 2001.
