This text analyzes African Christianity in the mid-1990s, against
the background of the continent's current social, economic and
political circumstances. Paul Gifford employs concepts taken from
political economy to shed light on the current dynamics of African
churches and churchgoers, and assesses their different
contributions in political developments since 1989. He also
evaluates the Churches' role in promoting a civil society in
Africa. Four detailed case-studies - Ghana, Uganda, Zambia and
Cameroon - cover all strands of Christianity: Catholic,
Evangelical, mainline Protestant, Pentecostal and Independent.
These serve as detailed analyses of the state of the churches in
each country and suggest more general patterns operating widely
across sub-Saharan Africa.
