In the decades before colonial partition in Africa, the Church
Missionary Society embarked on the first serious effort to
evangelize in an independent Muslim state. Bishop Samuel Ajayi
Crowther led an all-African field staff to convert the people of
the Upper Niger and Confluence area, whose communities were
threatened or already conquered by an expanding jihadist Nupe
state. In this book, Femi J. Kolapo examines the significance of
the mission as an African-rather than European-undertaking,
assessing its impact on missionary practice, local engagement, and
Christian conversion prospects. By offering a fuller history of
this overlooked mission in the history of Christianity in Nigeria,
this book reaffirms indigenous agency and rethinks the mission as
an experiment ahead of its time.
