Reviews

Kehinde Olabimtan's biographical perspective brings fresh and robust insights into African church historiography. (Dr Afe Adogame, Senior Lecturer in World Christianity School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh, Scotland) Dr Olabimtan's new book makes interesting reading. It is remarkable for its wealth of information, breath-taking in its detail and scholarly analysis, and admirable for its maturity of style and range of vocabulary. It is an indispensable resource for the researcher and the general reader alike. (Prof. Robert Addo-Fening, Formerly of Department of History, University of Ghana, Legon, Accra, Ghana.) ... as Dr Olabimtan makes clear in this valuable study, Johnson's own life, and those of his family and antecedents, provide lenses through which we can get a closer view of a critical period of the history of West Africa ...This is a rich book, revealing and thought-provoking. (Prof. Andrew F. Walls, Liverpool Hope University, Liverpool, UK, and Akrofi-Christaller Institute, Akropong-Akuapem, Ghana)
