This book traces Christianity's change from European imperialism's moral foundation to a voice of political and social change during decolonization.

Recenzje

'Decolonizing Christianity offers a compelling look at the decades surrounding Algeria's independence that makes excellent use of private Algerian archives and contributes to a growing body of literature on Christianity's encounter with the end of empire, at an institutional and individual level.' Naomi Davidson, The Journal of Modern History
