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."

History of Christianity in India, Vol. III: The
Eighteenth Century. By E. R. Hambye, S.J. (Bangalore:
The Church History Association of India. 1997. Pp. xxiv,
562. $40.00.) 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. Together, the six
volumes cover the history of Christianity in India from
its inception as a result of Apostle Thomas'
evangelization in the first century to the present time.
This volume, as the title indicates, covers the
eighteenth century. The author, a Jesuit priest and
Belgian by birth, spent over half a century in various
parts of India as a professor in different Catholic
institutions of higher learning. 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.

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
