“How did Christianity make its remarkable voyage from the Roman Mediterranean to the Indian subcontinent?”. This question represents the core of the book by Nathanael J. Andrade, associate professor in the Department of History at State University of New York, Binghamton. Andrade immediately answers in the subtitle of the book: “Networks and the Movement of Culture”. Indeed, Andrade’s volume, The Journey of Christianity to India in Late Antiquity, deals with networks, commercial roots, connections, circulation of people, objects, and ideas. All these interesting themes introduce the reader to the thematic of how the religious history of South Asia was connected to that of the Mediterranean in late Antiquity through the Christian narratives about the apostle “Judas Thomas”.
