Dr Atola hails from Nagaland, India and is currently Associate Professor in Religions and Sanskrit at the Leonard Theological College, Jabalpur, India.
Her research interests are in Christian mission and writing native history; religious conversion; Christian mission and modernity; gender issues; inter-religious encounter/dialogue and Christian mission and indigenous/tribal peoples’ identity.
She writes: “I would like to contribute what I can to realize a better world – God’s kingdom – where values such as justice, peace, respect and care between people exist in reality. The ways are demonstrated in the life and teaching of the historical person Jesus, hence to strive to be a true follower of Jesus not only in faith conviction but also in faithful expression in lived ways.”
Her dream is to start a research centre in Nagaland and in the immediate future to organise a small children’s library in Jabalpur.
