Africa and Africans are playing an increasingly important role within World
Christianity. Not only is what happens in Africa Christianity more and more
representative of Christianity as a whole (as Andrew F. Walls began to prophetically
observe even in the 1970s) — just as was the case with Euro-American Christianity
between the Reformation Era and the mid-twentieth century — but the African
Diaspora is playing an ever larger role in planting and leading churches within the old
strongholds of Christendom where Christianity has receded. This is a selection of
important scholarship studying these stories.
The cover art is a bas relief carving which adorns the front of the Communion Table in the building of
the Narok Community Christian Church in Narok, Kenya; it was carved by a Kamba member of the
congregation. This is a multiethnic congregation with multiethnic leadership; Maasai form the largest
group, representing about 40% of the congregation. Other well-represented groups include Agĩkũyũ
(aka Kikuyu), Luhya (aka Abaluyia), Kisii (aka Abagusii), Luo, and of course Kamba (aka Akamba).
The book covers just below are “must read” titles, along with all texts by Andrew F. Walls and Lamin
Sanneh.
