Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the evidence for St. Thomas the Apostleâs presence and tragic martyrdom in India. The author argues that St. Thomas did not confine his preaching to the northwest of India, but also ventured into the south, where the Saint Thomas Christian community traces its roots back to him. Though some critics argue there is insufficient evidence to support such claims, this book challenges that position, drawing on Western ecclesiastical texts from the 3rd-6th centuries. The book further suggests St. Thomasâ connection to King Gondophernes of northwest India and suggests that these two figures may be linked to the tradition of his martyrdom in India. The book concludes that the evidence available supports the long-held tradition of St. Thomasâ presence as an evangelist who brought the Christian faith to India, leaving behind a legacy that continues to this day.
