This book investigates M.M. Thomasâs biblical commentaries and their unique position at the intersection of religion and society. It explores how Thomas, inspired in part by Bonhoefferâs âreligionless Christianity,â adapted Western theological ideas and transformed them to reflect the social, political, and religious complexities of his own pluralistic context.

By examining these commentaries, the book offers a fresh perspective on how Thomas engaged with the dynamic relationship between faith and society. It also contributes a new dimension to the study of Indian Christianity, marking the first in-depth study of Thomasâs secular biblical commentaries. This book provides a pioneering contribution to the field of the study of Indian Christianity and the study of non-Western contextual theologies. It enriches the growing literature on biblical hermeneutics by offering new insights into how scripture can be interpreted in diverse cultural and political contexts. By focusing on Thomasâs unique theological approach, this work not only enhances our understanding of Indian Christian thought but also broadens the scope of contemporary theological studies, particularly within the global South. It invites readers to consider how the intersection of theology and society shapes religious thought in pluralistic settings.

This book is intended for scholars, graduate students, and those involved in church studies, as well as anyone interested in contextual theology and hermeneutics. It is especially relevant for readers keen on understanding Indian Christianity and exploring how theology interacts with the social and political issues present in non-Western contexts. The book will appeal to those looking to deepen their understanding of how faith adapts to and engages with the complexities of modern society.
