The Syrian Christians of Malabar, otherwise called the Christians of S. Thomas, is a historical book written by Philipos Edavalikel in 1869. The book provides a detailed account of the Syrian Christian community that existed in Malabar, a region in present-day Kerala, India. The author traces the origins of this community to the arrival of St. Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, who is believed to have visited India in the first century AD.The book describes the unique culture and traditions of the Syrian Christians of Malabar, including their language, dress, and religious practices. It also highlights the role played by the community in the history of Malabar, particularly during the period of Portuguese colonization in the 16th century. The author provides insights into the conflicts and alliances that emerged between the Syrian Christians and the Portuguese, as well as the impact of these interactions on the community's social and religious structures.Overall, The Syrian Christians of Malabar is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity in India and the cultural diversity of the region. The book is written in English and provides a comprehensive overview of the Syrian Christian community's history, customs, and beliefs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
