Synopsis

This book showcases a collection of 28 Jesuit missionary inscriptions, mostly from the Church of the Martyrs in Agra, India, that tell the story of the Jesuit mission in the Mughal Empire from 1580 to 1700. This was a time of change and consolidation, first under the tolerant reign of Akbar (d. 1605) and then under his successors Jahangir and Shah Jahan. The inscriptions are a valuable source for the history of the Catholic missions in northern India and contribute to the broader picture of Jesuit missionary activity in Asia. They shed light on the Jesuits' evangelizing methods and provide valuable information about the character and impact of their work. Their presence in India played a significant role in religious and intellectual exchange, and this book offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics between Christianity and Islam in the Mughal Empire. This book will be of interest to historians of Christianity, the Mughal Empire, and Jesuit missions, as well as those interested in interfaith dialogue and cultural exchange.
