Helps you understand Christianity's growth in Africa

You will gain insights into faith and culture dynamics

This enlightening book explores the vibrant rise of Christianity in Africa.

Christianity's center of gravity has shifted in the modern world from the continents of the North to the global South, with Africa playing a significant role in the resurgence of the faith. Here, Kwame Bediako is the first to examine this global transformation from an African perspective, offering a unique and compelling survey of the new role African Christianity is playing today. He examines the intellectual legacy of Edward Wilmot Blyden, the "Black Spokesman" who questioned the suitability of Western Christianity to Africa; discusses the Afrikania Moment of the twentieth century; explores the prospects of the modern African experience in the future shape of Christian theological discourse and in Christianity's continuing social and cultural impact.
