Karel A. Steenbrink and Paule Maas delve into the remarkable expansion of the Catholic community in Indonesia during the early 20th century. This documented history traces the growth from a modest population of 27,000 in 1902 to an impressive nearly 550,000 by the early 1940s, highlighting the dynamic transformations within a self-assured minority.

Through meticulous research, the authors explore the sociopolitical factors and cultural shifts that contributed to this surge, providing insights into the experiences of indigenous Catholics. Their work not only chronicles numbers but also illuminates the resilience and identity of a community navigating complex historical landscapes.
