    The late Bengt Sundkler, missionary, bishop, and academic, pioneered the study of independent churches in Africa. In this magisterial work, he reviews the entire history of the development of Christianity in all regions of the continent.

    “There is one thing, we sometimes wonder about,” he said, and hurriedly pulled his brown knitted hat down over his wrinkled forehead. The speaker was Theophilus M., a Zulu journalist and editor of an African newspaper, an intensive thirty year-old African intellectual, intelligent, quick-witted and with wide contacts among present-day Africans. “We wonder sometimes,” he repeated thoughtfully, whether we might not have got the wrong God. It might …
