Description
Book SynopsisWhile African Christianity has wholeheartedly appropriated the symbols, scriptures, and traditions of historic Christianity elsewhere, it has also built on the rich history of the continent's indigenous spiritual beliefs.
Trade Review"The subject of
How God Became African is of crucial importance, and its presentation is cogent, clear, and well organized. I can think of no book covering quite the same ground." * Andrew F. Walls, Center for the Study of Christianity in the Non-Christian World, Edinburgh University *
