Summary, etc. My attention was attracted to the subject of this book as a field of<br/>considerable interest and importance while I was myself teaching in<br/>Madras, the scene of so many of the controversies with which the<br/>study is concerned. I was not, however, able to begin my<br/>investigation until some time after my return to the United Kingdom<br/>in 1970. I then found myself to my delight within reach of the great<br/>and still largely unworked resources for the student of missions<br/>which are available in London. The first debt I must acknowledge,<br/>therefore, is to the custodians of the various missionary society<br/>archives and libraries, particularly the archivists and librarians of the<br/>Church Missionary Society, the United Society for the Propagation<br/>of the Gospel, the Methodist Missionary Society and the Society for<br/>Promoting Christian Knowledge. I am also grateful to the India<br/>Office Library and Records, the National Library of Scotland, the<br/>Library of New College, Edinburgh, and the Sussex University<br/>Library for much willing help in obtaining materials which I<br/>required. The Arts Research Support Fund of the University of<br/>Sussex generously made possible a visit to India in the Spring of 1975<br/>which enabled me, among the projects, to use the resources of<br/>libraries and archives in Madras and Bangalore as well as benefitting<br/>from discussion with various Indian scholars.<br/>I owe an immense debt of gratitude to more friends and colleagues<br/>in India, Britain, the United States and Australia than I can mention<br/>here, who have read, discussed and commented upon drafts of parts<br/>of this book. I have done my best to benefit from their suggestions<br/>and criticisms, and I owe much to their encouragement. In particular<br/>I may mention Dr. Pratima Bowes, Dr. Kenneth Cragg and<br/>Professor Eric Sharpe who have been outstandingly generous with<br/>advice and help. A more stimulating setting for the preparation of a<br/>work of this sort than the School of African and Asian Studies at the<br/>University of Sussex, to which I was privileged to belong from 1970 to<br/>1978, could hardly be imagined. I am indebted to the secretaries of<br/>the School for cheerfully typing successive versions of my chapters.<br/>The support, patience and encouragement of my wife and children<br/>in this, as in all that I do, is beyond calculation and deserves far more<br/>than a formal acknowledgement in a Preface. Here all I can say to<br/>them is a heartfelt ‘Thank You'.<br/>Much of the material in Chapter 4 has appeared as an article on<br/>“The Depressed Classes and Conversion to Christianity 1860-1960',<br/>in Religion in South Asia: Religious Conversion and Revival<br/>Movements in South Asia in Medieval and Modern Times. (New<br/>Delhi, 1977) edited by Dr. Geoffrey Oddie. Versions of chapters six<br/>and nine were published as articles in the Indian Church History<br/>Review in 1975. I am grateful to the editors for permission to use this<br/>material here.
