Abstract
This Handbook analyses explores the Catholic Church in Asia following a chronological framework to trace events from the late 8th century to the 21st century in East Asia, South East Asia as well as Mongolia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh and India. 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.
