Tishken has made a very original and insightful contribution to our understanding of prophetic churches, and particularly their responses to colonialism. He effectively challenges decades of scholarly theorizing from many different perspectives by demonstrating that African responses were significantly more nuanced and complex than simple resistance or collaboration. (Roger B. Beck, Nova Religio: The Journal of Alternative and Emergent Religions 18.1, 2014)
