Synopsis

This is an examination of the practice of Christianity in the small Indian neighbourhood of Kerala. The study focuses on the Yakoba people - who are divided into two groups, the Orthodox Syrians and the Jacobite Syrians - and their quarrel over ecclesiastical jurisdiction. It also seeks to understand the relationship between Christianity and Hinduism in Kerala by examining the ways in which Hindu, Christian and Syrian cultures have been bound together.
