Editing Bartholomew the Apostle (section)

===Mission to India===
Two ancient testimonies exist about the mission of Saint Bartholomew in India. These are by Eusebius of Caesarea (early 4th century) and by [[Saint Jerome]] (late 4th century). Both of these refer to this tradition while speaking of the reported visit of [[Pantaenus|Saint Pantaenus]] to India in the 2nd century.<ref name="nasrani.net" /> The studies of Fr A.C. Perumalil SJ and Moraes hold that the Bombay region on the [[Konkan]] coast, a region which may also have been known as the ancient city [[Kalyan]], was the field of Saint Bartholomew's missionary activities. Previously the consensus among scholars was at least skeptical about an apostolate of Saint Bartholomew in India. Stallings (1703), Neander (1853), Hunter (1886), Rae (1892), Zaleski (1915) supported it, while scholars such as Sollerius (1669), Carpentier (1822), Harnack (1903), Medlycott (1905), Mingana (1926), Thurston (1933), Attwater (1935), etc. do not. The main argument is that the India that Eusebius and Jerome refer to should be identified as [[Ethiopia]] or [[Arabia Felix]].<ref name="nasrani.net" />
