Produktbeschreibung
Was modern Christian mission to Africa primarily a colonial project and a civilizing mission or was it a spiritual revival spreading to new areas? This fascinating book tells the tale of the Dii people in northern Cameroon and describes their encounter with Norwegian missionaries.
