(1) Protestant missions to this community began mainly in India in the nineteenth century, and in Iran only in the twentieth century. (2) Converts were few, but some made definite contributions to church life in India. Caught as they were between different cultures and religions, these Indian Zoroastrian converts struggled to forge a synthesis between two cultures and two religions, ultimately allowing their faith to embrace their culture. The cultural distance they sought to span is reflected in the diverse work of two missionary theologians of the period, John Wilson (1804-75) and Greek scholar James Hope Moulton (1863-1917), whose writings will be discussed briefly.
