Book excerpt: This book explores the story of the presence of the gospel in many African communities, which the author asserts, starts from the people's cultural backgrounds and contours through the patterns of the insertion of the gospel to the challenges of the new change agent to the ingredients of the Igbo worldview, culture, and religious traditions. Beginning with a discussion of church historiography, the author explores the rejection of the Euro-centric position within historiography itself and critically examines the nationalist one. He also advocates an irenic, ecumenical history that searches the memory of the people and empowers their future.--amazon.com.
