Description
Old Daniel presents a fascinating biographical narrative centered on the life and conversion of Daniel, a Hindu man who embraced Christianity. Through the lens of missionary Thomas Hodson, this memoir offers a compelling personal testimony of spiritual transformation during a pivotal period in Indian history.
Beyond Daniel’s individual story, Hodson provides extensive observations on mission work conducted in the Goobbe Circuit, documenting the challenges and successes of evangelical efforts in rural India. The author’s detailed descriptions of village life offer ethnographic value, capturing daily customs, social structures, and cultural practices of 19th-century Indian communities.
This work serves as both a religious testimony and a historical document, preserving accounts of cross-cultural encounters and the complexities of religious conversion. It remains an important resource for understanding missionary history, Indian social life, and the broader context of colonial-era religious movements in South Asia.
