Beskrivning
This volume examines relations between U.S. Protestants and Africa since the end of colonial rule. It draws attention to shifting ecclesiastical and socio-political priorities, especially the decreased momentum of social justice advocacy and the growing missionary influence of churches emphasizing spiritual revival and personal prosperity. The book provides a thought-provoking assessment of U.S. Protestant involvements with Africa, and it proposes forms of engagement that build upon ecclesiastical dynamism within American and African contexts.

Recensioner i media
This fine collection of original essays completely shatters the myth promulgated only a few years ago that the "next Christendom" was flourishing in the global South completely on its own... The connections between U.S. and African Christianity remain strong and are far more complex than either demographic projections or postcolonial rhetoric would lead us to believe. --Robert Wuthnow, Princeton University
