Keith Burton: The Blessing of Africa

| September 20, 2008 | no comments

 

Burton, therefore, gives us a survey of Hamitic Africa in all of its historical, cultural, and social dimensions. Those curious about Africa’s active role in the Bible’s text and times will find Burton’s extensive geographical tracing of African places illuminating. Theologians interested in the unique historical and cultural forces framing a distinct African theology will find Burton’s sketch most satisfying. Church historians will see missions in a new light.
