—Pum Za Mang Church History
“The scholarship and archival thoroughness of the author are unimpeachable. . . . The book is a helpful case study in support of the thesis that ‘as time progressed, the age-old power frameworks superimposed onto worldwide [Christianity] were indeed shown to be universally defective.’”

“This excellent case study of Anglicanism in Burma illustrates why different Churches in different contexts have differing emphases in their teaching while holding the same gospel.”
—William Jacob Church Times
“The Anglican Church in Burma makes a meaningful and significant input to the fields of church history and mission studies. This kind of in-depth research into the Anglican Church in Burma has not been previously published, and the findings are an important and interesting new contribution to global Christianity.”
—Albert Sundararaj Walters,author of Knowing Our Neighbour: A Study of Islam for Christians in Malaysia
“The Anglican Church in Burma is an engaging historical narrative that highlights Western Christianity interfacing with indigenous religion and culture—and the ramifications of a ‘hybrid’ religious faith for the Christian Church in Asia. This is a welcome addition to the scarce resources on the Asian history of Christianity and mission, particularly on Anglicanism in Myanmar.”
—Limuel Equina,coeditor of Ministerial Challenges in Contemporary World: Towards a Transformative Theological Education
