Reviews
"""This volume offers an excellent overview of the width and depth of African Christian thought as it has developed throughout the centuries and across the continent. Its originality is that it considers a wide variety of historical and contemporary traditions as authentic African articulations of Christian faith: from early church fathers such as St Tertullian and St Augustine, to the centuries-old but still living Egyptian Coptic and Ethiopian Orthodox Churches, to the modern discourses of African liberation, inculturation, feminist, black, evangelical and catholic theologies. The contributions serve to demonstrate the critical point that Africa has been, and still very much is, a crucial part of Christian history, and that African agency continues to shape and reshape Christian thought."" - Adriaan van Klinken, University of Leeds, UK ""As a collection of essays, this book brings together some intriguing themes and issues that make the reader ask if there is a greater geographic unity to the history of African Christianity than has previously been considered."" - JESSE ZINK, MONTREAL DIOCESAN THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE"
