Magazines

The Jesus in India topic has gained a lot of coverage since the new millenium. To date there are two magazines, that we are aware of, that have featured the 'Jesus in India' theory and related research as lead cover articles.

To date the only publications to venture in to this area are those dealing with the paranormal and occult. Its hoped that in time more mainstream scholars will begin to look carefully at the topic and cover it appropriately.
