Produktbeschreibung

David Ngong offers a comprehensive view of African Christian thought that includes North Africa in antiquity as well as Sub-Saharan Africa from the period of colonial missionary activity to the present. Challenging conventional, colonial divisions of Africa, A New History of African Christian Thought demonstrates that important continuities exist across the continent. Chapters written by specialists in African Christian thought reflect the issues¿both ancient and modern¿in which Christian Africa has impacted the shape of Christian belief from the beginning of the movement up to the present day.
