This is the first full-length historical study of indigenous
evangelists across a range of societies, geographical regions and
colonial regimes and the first to focus on the complex issues of
authority surrounding the evangelists. It answers a need frequently
voiced in recent studies of Christian missions. Most scholars now
acknowledge that the remarkable expansion of Christianity in
Africa, Asia and the Pacific in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries owed far more to the efforts of indigenous preachers than
to the foreign missionaries who loom so large in publications. This
book addresses that concern making an excellent introduction to the
role of indigenous evangelists in the spread of Christianity, and
the many countervailing pressures with which these individuals had
to contend. It also includes in the introductory discussions useful
statements of the current state of scholarship and theoretical
debates in this field.
