4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent survey of African Christianity!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Drums of Redemption (Paperback)
We often hear of the Christian church fathers such as Calvin, Luther, and other ancient Europeans. I've often wondered about the ancient African Christians, especially those within the southern 2/3 of the the continent. Well, this book gave me all my answers and more. The author additionally explores those in the diaspora of Brazil, the Caribbean Islands as well as the U.S. He evens mentions the African Christians in Europe and the "Bombay" Christians. An excellent intro to a subject long overdue. This book should be read along with Elizabeth Isichei's History of Christianity in Africa and Mark Shaw's The Kingdom of God in Africa. The text contains a fair amount of moderate proofreading/editing oversights, however, it's still a great book. My thanks to the author.
