Description

About the Book:

Christa, Houbung Luchang Chule Kukite le Christianity is a deeply researched theological and historical work that explores the identity of the Church (Houbung), the headship of Christ, and the encounter between Christianity and the Kuki people. Authored by Haotinlun Haokip, this book thoughtfully examines Christian theology through biblical foundations while engaging with indigenous culture, history, and lived faith experiences.

Rooted in Scripture, the book traces the origin of the Church from the Old Testament to the New Testament, highlighting Christ as the head of the Church and the Church as the body of Christ. It further explores the growth of Christianity—from the first century Church to its arrival in India and Northeast India—before focusing on the Kuki context. With clarity and conviction, the author addresses questions of identity, unity, culture, tradition, and faith, offering a contextual understanding of Christianity without losing its biblical essence.

Written in a scholarly yet accessible style, this book is an invaluable resource for theology students, pastors, church leaders, researchers, and readers interested in contextual theology, Church history, and indigenous Christian thought. Christa, Houbung Luchang Chule Kukite le Christianity invites readers to reflect deeply on faith, culture, and the true nature of the Church in today’s world.
