The caste system in India is a prevalent social evil, which has not only caused enormous damage to the welfare of the Indian society but also plagued the churches in India.
Stephen argues in this book that the teachings of Christ and the institution of caste are diametrically opposed. He has built a compelling case by showing the origin and the nature of the caste system, evidencing a biblical response to the caste system, and providing practical measures to eradicate casteism in local churches.
