During the 1980s, religion was widely assumed to have lost its
dominant position in Western culture and to be losing ground
throughout the world. This has not been the case. Today we see an
upsurge in religion worldwide, which has affected people's
spiritual, cultural, economic and political lives.
Much has been written about the expanded role of religion in the
socio-political arena of Islam in the Middle East, of the Catholic
Church in countries formerly under Communist control, and of the
rising neo-Pentecostalism in Latin America. Similary, much has also
been written about the colonial evangelism and the expansion on the
role of Christianity in post-colonial Africa. This book joins the
debate on the role of Christianity in coloniality, and more so, in
post-coloniality and neo-coloniality in Kenya. It traces the
process of transformation in which the church, state and society in
Kenya took part, and attempts to construct new understandings of
the relationships between the three. It demonstrates the crucial
role of the church in shaping Kenya's emerging civil society and in
developing an alternative politics.
