About the book

Kalu presents essays on African church history: historiography, context (ecology and worldviews), the missionary enterprise and African responses that explain the massive growth of Christianity in contemporary Africa. Clio is the ancient Muse of History: when dressed in a sacred garb, the muse performs for religious people and for church historians. These essays address the cutting edge of contemporary African church historiography and the process of appropriation of gospel in the encounter with Christianity.
