A significant contribution to theological and cultural scholarship has arrived with the release of Christa, Houbung Luchang Chule Kukite le Christianity, authored by Haotinlun Haokip. This thoughtful work explores the deep relationship between Christianity, the Church (Houbung), and the Kuki community, offering readers a rich blend of biblical theology, historical insight, and indigenous perspective.
The book traces the origin, nature, and mission of the Church from Old Testament foundations to its fulfillment in the New Testament, while carefully examining how Christian faith engaged with Kuki history, culture, and identity. It sheds light on the growth of Christianity in India and Northeast India, and thoughtfully reflects on how faith can remain rooted in Christ while respecting local language, traditions, and cultural values.
Written with clarity and spiritual depth, the book is both an academic resource and a reflective guide for theologians, pastors, students, and readers interested in contextual theology. It encourages unity, deeper understanding, and renewed reflection on the identity of the Church as the body of Christ within the Kuki context.
This release marks an important milestone for readers seeking a meaningful dialogue between faith, history, and indigenous identity.
