This Handbook considers the horizontal strata of society through space, examining key issues such as church architecture, music and images, the Church's role in education, linguistic and translation issues surrounding Bible studies, evangelization and the building of Church hierarchy, religious formation, and gender relations. Exploring the Vatican’s relations with Asian countries from the beginning of the Church in Asia, this Handbook offers a key reference to Church history in Asia for students and researchers in Christianity studies, History, Cultural and Asian studies.
