The Kingdom of God in Africa: A Short History of African ChristianityThis survey of Africa's Christian centuries is organized around Augustine's vision of the City of God and H. Richard Niebuhr's conception of the kingdom of God in history. African Christianity, writes the author, has blended the sovereign rule of God, the redemptive reign of Christ, and the social emphases of the kingdom of justice. |
