.,. a welcome, and desperately needed, addition to a growing missiological literature on African Christian history and historical theology written by Africans. This work would be an excellent text for courses on African Christian history, ecclesiology, and theology. It is certainly a must for the serious student of the African Christian scenario. -Southwest Journal of Theology
