Akbar and the Jesuits
An Account of the Jesuit Missions to the Court of Akbar
Discussions and debates about the Christian faith between the Mughal emperor and courtiers and Jesuit missionaries are largely covered in the book.
The Mughal emperor Jalal-ud-Din Muhammad, famously known as Akbar (r.1556-1605), took a lot of initiatives to discuss the issue of religion. The Ibadat Khana, built at the newly built capital of Fatehpur Sikri, invited a lot of religious clerics from almost all of the religions prevalent during the time of Akbar. Jesuit missionaries from Europe came to the Mughal court to discuss and debate the doctrines of Christianity. This volume is an English translation by C.H. Payne in 1926, based on Jarric’s account of the expedition to the Mughal court. This book covers the Mughal period under Akbar’s rule. He gives a shorter description of Akbar’s administration, judicial system, persona, and genealogy stretching from the House of Timur and early Mughal emperors.
