This study focuses on Christianity and black nationalism in
South Africa and looks at four individuals--Albert Lutuli, Robert
Sobukwe, Steve Biko, and Desmond Tutu--to see how each leader's
Christian beliefs influenced the political strategy he pursued.
Just as theology (Calvinism) was significant in the formulation of
Afrikaner nationalism, so too has theology, variously interpreted,
been instrumental in the articulation of African nationalism. The
African National Congress (ANC), the Pan-Africanist Congress (PAC),
the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM), and the United Democratic
Front (UDF) all relied on a Christian perspective and vocabulary to
articulate the goals of black nationalism. By tracing this
religious thread through each of these various resistance
movements, the author has made a fascinating contribution to the
literature of comparative politics, African studies, and the
sociology of religion.
