An African Tree of Life

Evangelism & Missions

“Shows how a single root metaphor--the sore tree--branches forth into elegant philosophies of salvation. By tracing the ramifications of this creative image into daily affairs, Christensen leads readers into an understanding of a life that is fully Christian and fully African. His meditations pose important questions for theologians and historians of religion about the role that cultural diversity plays in Christian revelation and that cultural contact with Christianity plays in revitalizing religious traditions.”
