Jan Sihar Aritonang and Karel Steenbrink (eds.) A History of Christianity in Indonesia

This volume, edited by Jan Sihar Aritonang and Karel Steenbrink, tells in English the long, involved and significant story of what has been hidden or written out of much of the sweep of the history of Christianity, especially in the dominant English-speaking world. Here we have a volume which tells the story of what are currently at least twenty-four million Christians (more people than the population of Australia), that is around ten per cent of the fourth most populous country in the world. It is also the story of the most populous Muslim country in the world, in which the interaction between Islam and Christianity has been highly significant.
