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.
R. Drew Smith is Scholar-in-Residence and Project Director of ""Public Influences of African-American Churches Project"" and of the ""Faith Communities and Urban Families Project"" at Morehouse College in Atlanta.
