According to some estimates, Africa will soon have the highest
concentration of Christians in the world. But African Christianity
has had a long and conflicted history. Even today, modern
misinterpretations of Scripture argue for God's curse upon the
dark-skinned peoples of Africa. In this comprehensive study, Keith
Burton traces the story of biblical Africa and the place of the
Bible in the land of Ham. Beginning with the Old Testament, he
explores the geography of biblical Africa and moves beyond
stereotypical discussions of African ethnicity and identity. He
then chronicles the African presence in the church from the New
Testament onward, paying particular attention to the growth of
Islam in Africa as well as the impact of European colonialism and
the slave trade. Coming to the modern era, he examines the
achievements of African Christianity and visionary efforts to adapt
and reclaim Christianity for the African context. Burton invites
readers to discover anew the relevance of the biblical narrative
for African Christians as well as Scripture's influence on African
Christianity. This invigorating work places the story of the Bible
and African Christianity in a wider global context and challenges
readers to think differently about history and the biblical world.
