Summary "Old Daniel" by Thomas Hodson is a memoir depicting the transformative life of a man named Chickka, who later becomes known as Daniel, following his conversion from Hinduism to Christianity. Written in the late 19th century, around the time of 1877, this book is a rich historical account that captures the essence of village life in India, particularly within the context of the missionary efforts in the Mysore region. The book largely revolves around themes of faith, cultural conflict, and personal transformation against the backdrop of idolatry prevalent in that era's society. The narrative details Daniel's life, beginning with his upbringing in a Hindu family deeply rooted in traditional practices and idol worship. As he matures, Daniel develops a critical perspective on the religious customs around him, eventually questioning idol worship and gravitating toward Christianity upon encountering missionaries. Through various experiences, including his efforts to dismantle idols and influence his fellow villagers, the book illustrates his eventual baptism and dedication to spreading the Christian faith. Daniel’s story serves as a testament to the broader spiritual awakening that the missionary work brought to the region, illuminating his journey from a life bound by tradition to one of conviction and service to his newfound faith. The text ultimately highlights themes of hope, redemption, and the power of belief to change personal and communal destinies. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
