Abstract: "Vincent Okwuosa, in this critical analysis of the work of Christian missionaries among the Africans, pleads for a reformation within the Church that would make it more responsive ot the needs of its African members. He praises the wisdom of Islam in making adjustments in keeping with the needs and customs of the Africans, comparing their methods and results to those of the Christian missionaries, who 'changed a religion of love and peace to one of exploitation, oppression, and discrimination.' The author has documented the ways in which the Africans were conditioned to accept the European cultural and religious domination which finally resulted in their political domination---a result not in keeping with the missionaries' mission 'to feed God's hungry people and to bring to them the Good News of Christ.'"--Dust jacket flap
