An Overview of Christianity and the Urdu Language
Christianity and the Urdu language share a history that reflects the cultural and religious diversity of South Asia. Christianity was introduced to the Indian subcontinent as early as the first century, with the arrival of the Apostle Thomas, according to tradition. However, significant Christian engagement with Urdu, a language that emerged from the fusion of Persian, Arabic, and local Indian languages during the Mughal Empire, began in the 18th and 19th centuries. British missionaries, such as those from the Church Missionary Society, worked extensively to translate the Bible into Urdu to reach Muslim and Hindu populations in northern India and modern-day Pakistan.
The first complete Urdu Bible was translated by the Reverend Henry Martyn and published in 1843. Subsequent revisions made the Bible more accessible to native Urdu speakers, incorporating linguistic nuances and idiomatic expressions familiar to the local culture. Urdu Christian literature, including hymnals and theological texts, also flourished during this time, contributing to the small but vibrant Christian communities in the region. Today, Urdu remains an important language for Christian worship and outreach in Pakistan, where Christians constitute a minority but have a visible presence. Despite challenges, the availability of the Bible and other Christian resources in Urdu continues to support the faith and perseverance of Urdu-speaking believers.
