Bishop Stephen Neill: From Edinburgh to South India

"Stephen Neill is both one of the most brilliant and one of the most complex figures in the long history of the interaction between European and Indian Christians. Dyron B. Daughrity's book is most welcome, reminding us that in the process of cultural encounters, ordinary human failings can sometimes appear writ large." (Brian Stanley, Director, Henry Martyn Centre, Westminster College, Cambridge, United Kingdom)
"Despite prolific scholarship, reflected in some sixty-five books, Stephen Neill's early career, as a missionary and bishop in Tirunelveli (South India), has been shrouded in mystery. This Dyron B. Daughrity has lifted. In probing relations between Indian Christians and European missionaries, relations beset by human frailty, he has made a salutary contribution to our understanding of this remarkable, if complex, individual." (Robert Eric Frykenberg, Professor Emeritus of History and South Asian Studies, University of Wisconsin - Madison)
