      abstract = {Christianity in Africa and the African Diaspora offers new  resources for the interpretation and analysis of African  Christian movements. It draws attention to a number of key  issues, including the translatability of the Christian  faith, the process of contextualization in various  cultures, the place and role of indigenous agencies, the  global impact of contemporary African Christian  expressions, its influence on ecumenical relations and  inter-religious encounters, and its way of shaping new  religious identities and landscapes in response to power  relations and artificial boundaries. Topics covered include  the concept of diaspora, deconstructing colonial mission,  conversion, African cosmologies, African retentions, female  leadership dynamics, liberation theology, a new discourse  around HIV/AIDS, transnational religious networks,  pentecostal/charismatic movements, charismatic renewal  within former mission churches, dynamics of reverse  mission, outreach via cyberspace, specific studies on  Anglican, Baptist, Adventist and Kimbanguist missions, and  the need for intercultural and interdenominational bridge  building. -- Back cover.},
