Pour beaucoup, l’Inde évoque les religions extrême-orientales, l’hindouisme, le bouddhisme. Elle n’est associée au christianisme qu’à travers les figures de quelques missionnaires généreux comme Mère Térésa de Calcutta, voire à quelques évangélistes protestants radicaux souvent accusés de prosélytisme, ou encore à des contemplatifs pionniers du dialogue interreligieux, comme Henri le Saux, Jules Montchanin ou Bede Griffiths...Et pourtant, le livre du pasteur van Slageren nous le rappelle, le christianisme y est beaucoup plus ancien que ces présences issues de l’effort missionnaire des XIXe-XXe siècles. Presque dès sa naissance, le christianisme atteignit l’Inde où il subsista malgré de nombreux obstacles : les divisions internes, les conséquences tragiques de la colonisation puis de l’émancipation vis à vis de l’Occident.Un christianisme oriental, fortement marqué par son enracinement juif, bien différent de celui qui s’est répandu dans les pays européens et qui est associé à leur politique d’expansion impérialiste. C’est ce christianisme se réclamant de l’apôtre Thomas que cet ouvrage nous invite à découvrir, dans son histoire mouvementée. Un sujet d’autant plus difficile que les Chrétiens de saint Thomas ont été marqués par une tradition syrienne souvent ignorée en Occident.Outre l’intérêt de nous faire découvrir un aspect trop peu connu d’un christianisme beaucoup plus divers et riche que le grand public ne peut l’imaginer, ce livre insiste avec raison, à travers sa présentation des Chrétiens de saint Thomas, sur l’enjeu qu’il représente, celui de l’inculturation.

"Kerala Christian Sainthood is an ethnography-based study that celebrates the multi-vocal function of saints. Drawing on pilgrim anecdotes, shrine practices, official hagiographies, and regional lore, author Corinne Dempsey demonstrates how the business of saints routinely extends beyond their capacity as earthly conduits of miraculous power. Saintly characters described in this book, hailing from the religiously pluralistic south Indian state of Kerala, tend not only to the health and happiness of individual devotees but help craft and express the multiple identities and complex power relations of their devotional communities as well." "Throughout the study, Dempsey highlights the traditions of Sr. Alphonsa of Bharananganam (1910-1946) and St. George the martyr, two figures who reflect the many preoccupations of Kerala sainthood. Sr. Alphonsa, native of Kerala and famous for her life of suffering and posthumous power, stands in line to be canonized by the Vatican. St. George, the caped dragon slayer imported to Kerala by Syrian merchants and later by Portuguese and British colonizers, is today partially debunked by Rome. These two figures, while differing dramatically in temperament, nationality, age of cult, and Vatican standing, boast a vast popular appeal in Kerala's Kottayam district. In examining Sr. Alphonsa and St. George, Dempsey shows how Kerala's saint traditions reflect devotees' hybrid identities in both colonial and postcolonial times." "This ethnography of Christian sainthood within a Hindu cultural context, of "foreign" traditions adopted by native practice, and of female sanctity negotiated through patriarchal expectation is poised at a number of intersections. Dempsey provides not only a comparative study of cultures, religions, and worldviews, but also a unique grounding for contemporary ethnographic, post-colonial, and feminist concerns."--Jacket
