Christianity has been spread in Africa by Africans. It is the story
of peoples seizing control of their own spiritual destinies-rather
than the commonplace notion that the continent's Christian churches
represent colonial and capitalist powers that helped subdue
Africans to European domination. In short, once introduced,
Christianity took on a powerful life of its own and spun out of the
control of those who would retain ownership of doctrine and
practice. East African Expressions of Christianity examines the
experiences of African Christians as they explored the new faith,
interpreted it in the context of their own values, appropriated it
for themselves, and forged their own distinctive churches.
Prominent Tanzanian and American historians, anthropologists,
political scientists, and church people examine the translation of
religious meanings across cultural boundaries; the religious and
social appeal of the new faith; and the vital roles played by
African evangelists, teachers, and translators in the spread of
Christianity and the development of an African church.
