Legacy of St Thomas: Apostle of India

Description

In this little volume, Adv. Vijayan Bhaskaran takes a close look at the person and personality of St Thomas the Apostle—the man who brought to our land the message of Christ for the first time. He does that by closely monitoring the presence, the Words and deeds of Thomas as they unfold in the gospel narratives. What emerges is a vivid picture of Thomas’ profound attachment to his Master that led him to offer to die with and for him. The author then traces the footsteps of the Apostle reviewing the unchallengeable evidences of his presence and mission in our land, still vibrant in the living traditions, institutions, feasts, customs and folklore of the Christian community. Aptly illustrated, the book makes interesting as well as rewarding reading.
