In this magisterial work, he reviews the entire history of the development of Christianity in all regions of the continent. In contrast to the conventional focus on the missionary enterprise, Professor Sundkler places the African converts at the centre of the study. African Christians, typically drawn from the margins of society, reinterpreted the Christian message, proselytised, governed local congregations, and organised independent churches. Emphasising African initiatives in the process of Christianisation, he argues that its development was shaped by African kings and courts, the history of labour migration, and local experiences of colonisation. This long-awaited book will become the standard reference on African Christian churches. 606 $aChristianity$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xChurch history 615 0$aChristianity 676 $a276 700 $aSundkler$b Bengt$f1909-1995,$0244725 702 $aSteed$b Christopher 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449980403321 996 $aA history of the church in Africa$92463884 997 $aUNINA
