9. COMING OF THOMAS
CHAPTER 9
THE COMING OF THOMAS
What we have seen is that there is a total discontinuity in the basic concept of God in the history of Indian religions. Suddenly, in the first few centuries of the Christian era there arose a religion, which was very distinct from Vedism along with large number of written scriptures, which explained those principles. These cannot be explained except by recognizing the coming of St. Thomas the Apostle of Jesus into the Indian scene.
Thomas came to India in AD 52
and India was never been the same after him.
