A Rwandan Bishop’s Confession

Evangelism & Missions

“The importance of any people’s mother tongue for their self-identity, authentic relationship with the transcendent, and holistic development is beyond dispute. In this work, Kubwimana uses the life story of Bishop Bigirumwami—from his alienation from, potential hostility toward, and exhilarating embrace of his primal cultural heritage—to underscore the need to use African mother tongues to solidly ground Christianity in Africa. Kubwimana thus offers Bigirumwami to readers as an inspiring and challenging exemplar.”
