Christianity in Andhra Pradesh: Light in the Land of the Telugu People
By Dr. Venkat PotanaLength6h 43m
About this audiobook
This book is a compelling and richly researched account of how the Christian faith took root and grew among the Telugu-speaking people of South India. Spanning more than two centuries, the book weaves together the stories of pioneering missionaries, courageous indigenous leaders, visionary women, and grassroots movements that shaped a vibrant Telugu Christian identity. From the early efforts of the London Missionary Society in Vizagapatam and Lutheran missions in Guntur to the Baptist mass movements of Ongole and the far-reaching work of the Church Missionary Society, the narrative reveals a faith that transformed lives and communities. More than church history, this book explores Christianity’s impact on education, healthcare, social reform, Dalit empowerment, women’s upliftment, and Telugu Christian literature. With scholarly depth and engaging storytelling, it offers an inspiring portrait of a resilient faith deeply rooted in Telugu soil.
