Tribals in India: An Anthropo-Missiological Perspective
By Dr. Venkat Potana
Length3h 14m
About this audiobook
In a world where tribal communities often remain misunderstood and marginalized, Tribals in India: An Anthropo-Missiological Perspective emerges as a groundbreaking work that bridges anthropology, theology, and missiology with deep compassion and scholarship.
Drawing from decades of academic research and frontline ministry experience, Dr. Venkat Potana offers a rich exploration of India’s tribal societies—unveiling their cultural complexity, social structures, spiritual worldview, and economic challenges.
This book is more than a study—it is a call. A call to understand tribal communities not through colonial stereotypes or sociopolitical agendas, but through the lens of God’s redemptive love and the transformative power of the Gospel. With historical insights, original field research, and theological reflection, Dr. Potana highlights how Christian missions have not only brought spiritual renewal but also empowered tribals socially and economically—restoring dignity, identity & hope
