AWARDS and RECOGNITIONSHindu-Christian Studies Society, Best Book
in Hindu-Christian Studies (2006-2008)
REVIEWSAndrew F. Walls, Centre for the Study of African and Asian
Christianity, Liverpool Hope University
"This is a rich book, learned, empathetic, nuanced, and, despite
the erudition, readable into the bargain. It unpicks complicated
stories, giving different perceptions of the event their due
weight, and approaches complex entities with insight. As a study of
the renovation of tradition it illuminates not only the remarkable
Satnami history but the whole process of interaction as
Christianity crosses cultural frontiers." Richard Fox Young,
Princeton Theological Seminary
"An exemplary case study and a good deal more. . . . A valuable
resource for theory and methodology, much needed in a field where
portable models are still in short supply. Working archivally in
America and ethnographically in India, Bauman stands at the point
of tangency between disciplines, crafting an approach that
illuminates agency, indigenous and exogenous, in ways that are
neither one-sidedly 'top down' nor 'bottom up.' His contribution to
ongoing debates about 'conversion' will be discussed for years to
come."
