description: This study concentrates on the diversity of Christianity and Christian missions in Zimbabwe, and their impact on socio-economic and cultural-religious contexts, as well as the reverse influence of these dimensions on the Christian church. It further examines church-state relations in pre- and post-independent Zimbabwe. In the latter part of the book, the author makes theological interpretations of the Bible in an African setting, considers the relationship between Christianity and the burning land issue, and the relevance of religious studies pursued at tertiary sector levels. Frans Verstraelen is Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Zimbabwe.
