Houle1st ed.Lanham, Md. :Lehigh University Press,2011.London :Bloomsbury Publishing (US),2025.1 online resource (355 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-61146-147-2 1-61146-081-6 Includes bibliographical references and index."In the beginning" -- Being Zulu and Christian -- Conflicting identities -- Revival -- Naturalizing the faith -- A Zulu church -- Conclusion.Robert J. Houle examines the history of faith among colonial Zulu Christians (known as amaKholwa,) in what would become South Africa, arguing that Africans successfully naturalized Christianity. Houle believes that before the religion could take hold, several aspects of Christianity needed to be 'translated' to fill critical gaps between existing African beliefs and Chritian tradition. This dual identity was difficult to reconcile through much of Zulu Christian history, but ultimately transformed both the Zulu Christians and their adopted faith.
