The 2021 Earl A. Pope Guest Lecture in World Christianity. The Christian missionaries who spread out into Asia, Africa, and the New World from the 16th through the 19th centuries carried with them a strong sense of the heathen, the non-Christian “other.” This lecture will explore how the 19th-century Protestant Christian represented the heathen other in India, a construction that involved several simultaneous notions of otherness, from the otherness of Indian religiosity, to the otherness of living on the margins of Indian society (a prime target of the missionaries), and finally, to the otherness of being an Indian Christian convert.
