The volume combines various theological fields such as church history, liturgy and patristics to present a detailed history of the Syro-Malabar church as it established itself in the state of Kerala. It delves into the roots of the church citing its ecumenical purpose and tries to show the authenticity of the church as apostolic and Catholic. It argues that the accusation made against the Church of its being tainted with Nestorianism—owing to its use of the Addai-Mari anaphora in its Qurbana, for instance—is unfounded. It further argues that the church has always been a truly Catholic church. For the purpose, it delves into the life and theology of Theodoret of Cyrus and critically analyses the liturgy of the church.
