Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This 19th-century history of Christianity in Ceylon recounts the spread and assimilation of Christian teachings within the country from the 6th century, spanning almost 2000 years. From the very beginnings of Christianity in Sri Lanka, the author notes that the religion gained the most devout adherents from the Tamil people in the northern region, while the Sinhalese had a more flexible attitude, blending Christian beliefs with their own rituals and customs. The book further discusses the distinctive methods practiced by Jesuit priests to introduce Christianity to the Tamil population of the island, which were not entirely successful in fostering genuine conversion to the religion. Overall, this book provides a unique and valuable historical account of Christianity in Ceylon and the complex religious dynamics of the region. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
