Through this post we are releasing the scan of THE HIERARCHY OF THE SYRO MALABAR CHURCH written by PLACID J PODIPARA published in the year 1976.
Here is a book from a veteran historian, theologian, canonist and
philosopher, Rev. Dr. Placid J. Podipara CMI, who is a professor in the Pontifical Institute for Oriental Studies in Rome, and a Consultor to the Sacred Congregation for Oriental Churches. He needs no introduction to
the public both in the East and in the West, especially on the level of scientific study. All his writings are fully substantiated with essential
documents. He is one fully dedicated to the cause of his Church, the Church of St. Thomas, the Apostle. The present work. The Hierarchy of the Syro-Malabar Church, is a clear proof of this commitment.
The purpose of the book, as the author himself states in the preface,
is to help the present Syro-Malabarians esteem their venerable traditions and to make efforts for a timely revival of them.
This work, especially the footnotes to each chapter, must be an
essential reading for those, who are really engaged in the work of
indigenisation and acculturation of any Church, especially of the Syro-Malabar Church. The excellent printing and the elaborate subject
index at the end make for easy reading of the work. The beautiful cover, symbolising the present state of the Syro-Malabar Church, makes the book
all the more attractive.
