Volume III (1878-1914) continues the account of the European penetration into Africa and describes the effect of the ‘scramble for Africa’ on the work of the various Christian missions and the growth of the Christian Churches.
A great four-volume history presenting in comprehensive perspective, within the limits of a single narrative, the various attempts to plant and develop Christianity in Africa. The method of presentation is chronological rather than regional, taking the whole story forward stage by stage rather than dealing completely with one region at a time.
