Africa past and present : an overview The human condition : are we the same the world over? African traditional religion Life in community Integrity, darkness, and life The Bible and African ideas Roman North Africa and the early church A call to missionary service in Africa God stepping into our world : the East African revival The impact of the East African revival What the Western church can learn from the African experience.

The harsh reality is that our Western perceptions of Africa have been tainted by many things as we tend to view this continent as mystical, dark, complex, traumatized, and even violent. Perhaps it is time to take a fresh look at our existing stereotypes, to examine what God has done and is now doing in Africa, in order to see what we in the West might learn from the fastest growing church in the world.
