ORIGIN OF CHRISTIANITY IN ANCIENT INDIA
Apostle Thomas founded the Indian Church in the 1st century C.E, even before it was established in Palestine and Europe. This book is focused on finding out the origin of Christianity, a new religion in the multi-pluralistic religious background of India. Manuscripts, archaeological findings, the living tradition of the people and personal visit to the Churches of Ancient origin in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra etc; study of the Copper Plates, Olas (writing on palm leaves); and visit to St Thomas museum at Mylapore, are the primary sources of this book. Jose V.J. (Fr Jose John Vettiyankal), a research scholar, throws light on the amazing growth of Christian faith in the Indian sub-continent.
RELICS FROM THE CRUCIFIXION: Where They and Went and How They Got There
All relics from Christ’s crucifixion have a fascinating story, all of which are told here in this 1910 work by the enterprising Catholic investigator Charles Wall. You’ll also discover in these pages: a) the miracle that revealed to St. Helena which of the three discovered crosses was that of Jesus, b) a history of the fortunes the Crown of Thorns gave to those who held them, and a list of towns where thorns are found, c) relics of Jesus’ actual blood from the Crucifixion: and why it makes sense that some still exists, d) the veil of Veronica, Christ’s seamless robe, and much more.

The Hindu History
The Hindu History is part of the indispensable canon of works on the chronological growth of Hinduism and the Indian nation. Written in the early twentieth century, it traces the origin and development of the Aryan invasion of India and takes us on an engaging journey through the rise of new dynasties and kingdoms, followed by the advent of foreign rule in India.
Religion and philosophy have always been a guiding force in India. They have moulded society and played a crucial role in nation-building. The Hindu History is a well-researched, exhaustive and in-depth analysis of the events that have shaped Hinduism and Hindustan.
The Spreading Flame – The Rise and Progress of Christianity from its First Beginnings to Eighth-Century Engl
In this history of the early Christian Church, Professor Bruce divides the complex story into three sections. The first, The Dawn of Christianity, deals with the Church from its infancy to the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. The second section, The Growing Day, continues the story up to the accession of Constantine in A.D. 313 and the Church’s consequent official status. Light in the West, the final part, is about Christianity in Rome and its spread to the British Isles after the barbarian invasion. The picture that emerges is of the Church as an unquenchable spiritual force organized for tribulation, whose spiritual resources are never more unlimited than in times of seeming disaster. A wealth of quotations from Jewish and classical sources, combined with F.F. Bruce’s straightforward style, make this book a valuable contribution to the study of the history of the Church.
