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. 606 $aChristianity and culture$zAfrica, Southern 606 $aChristianity$zAfrica, Southern 606 $aMissions$zAfrica, Southern$xInfluence 606 $aZulu (African people)$xReligion 607 $aAfrica, Southern$xChurch history 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristianity and culture 615 0$aChristianity 615 0$aMissions$xInfluence. 615 0$aZulu (African people)$xReligion. 676 $a276.8 701 $aHoule$b Robert J.$f1969-$0954574 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456585103321 996 $aMaking African Christianity$92159212 997 $aUNINA
