First sentence: We may perhaps take it for granted that with the publication by David Barrett of the World Christian Encyclopedia, (Nairobi: OUP, 1982), many Christians have become accustomed to the phenomenon referred to as the modern shift of the centre of gravity of Christianity.
Description: "Jesus and the Gospel in Africa collects writings by Kwame Bediako and is the best source for his insights into the Christ of present-day African history and the Jesus of African faith. Bediako shows how intimately bound together are such elements as the message of Jesus and the struggle to give birth to African democracy." --Book Jacket.
