The Transformation of African Christianity: Development and Change in the Nigerian Church

This book seeks to engage in a systematic ecclesiological reflection on the extent to which the understanding and practice of "church" have changed during one and half centuries of Christianity in Nigeria with the purpose of providing pastors and practitioners with an interpretive framework for a contextual yet a biblical way of doing church as Nigeria moves into the future. It is also to provide the theorist with a missiological and theological compass to guide the work of theorizing, giving symmetry of understanding and interpretation in the ongoing appraisal of non-Western and global Christianities.
