Ever since Anglican Christians began to live and work in the then Transvaal in the 1860s, tensions were built into the life of the church: Imperial policy, colonial attitudes, black and white Christians meeting in different congregations, and deep differences about Christian witness in a conflicted society. At times the church showed remarkable integrity and courage over issues of race, land, housing and unity not only under apartheid, but long before. Yet the church also reflected superficiality, racism and moral compromise. B/w photos, bib, 432pp, SOUTH AFRICA. CLUSTER PUBLICATIONS.

Indigenous churches form a striking part of the phenomenal growth of Christian churches on the African continent. Yet, much confusion abounds about them, which this books seeks to clarify. The Cape Flats township is the specific regional historical context, but the scope is widened to include the broader movement in South Africa and Christianity in Africa. The Zionists present a lively and vital form of the Christian mission, an alternative to conventional mission agencies. Their uniqueness and attraction lie in their view of Zion as a safe refuge in a Xhosa religio-cultural perspective. In the harsh urban conditions of the Cape Flats Zion becomes the City of God.

2003 Paperback

For most of the period under review, formal conversions to Christianity few, yet Christian values and institutions became prevalent features among African societies. Missionary evangelical strategies and African conversions to Christianity were tested in the context of South African colonial politics and economic transformations. While in the Transvaal Christianity offered little scope for explicit political opposition, it opened up major fields of cultural innovation which, in due time, became the basis for new articulations of African social aspirations. This study explores a mine of unpublished information in archives of the Hermannsburg and Berlin missions. It attempts to prove that the detail we can build on Africans' experiences with Christianity is considerable. 344pp, GERMANY. LIT VERLAG.

Essays that argue that there is a crucial element of human nature that is often overlooked in the international science-and-religion debate, a dimension that transcends what the sciences are able to study because it is what enables people to be the creators and judges of science. It is also what endows humanity with the freedom and responsibility of deciding which, if any, religion to follow. These essays bring together insights, drawn from both European and African traditions of thought, that argue for this ultimately mysterious dimension of humanity. 326pp, SOUTH AFRICA.
