Advent Of Christianity In Nagaland

Abstract

The advent of Christianity in Nagaland is a pivotal and transformative event in the history of Nagaland. This paper delves into the arrival of Christian Missionaries in Nagaland which marked a significant shift in the religious and cultural landscape of the Naga people. Through the Christian education brought by the American Baptist Missionaries, Nagaland is now, called as “Nagaland for Christ”. Christianity in Nagaland developed from two phases. The first phase began in the year 1842, through Rev. Miles Bronson and the second phase began in the year 1872, through Rev. E.W. Clark. This paper also examines the challenges and opportunities that have arisen as a result of the Integration of Christianity into Naga Society.
