Disputed Missions casts a fresh glance at the social and cultural laboratories that were Jesuit missions in pre-colonial South India. By focussing on a dispute between two missionaries in Madurai in the beginning of the seventeenth century, this book chronicles the first efforts at explaining the origin, structure and nature of local religious practices.
