• Christianity in South Africa: An Annotated Bibliography is a well researched, meticulously annotated, comprehensive work on the many faces of Christianity in South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland. Its historical, sociological and anthropological approaches to the study of literature on South African Christianity give it a wide angle on "religious" studies - a study of religion whose methodology makes it readily accessible to many academic disciplines as well as the lay reader. The annotations are insightful and engaging, and the historical and political treatment of Christian denominations is as informative as it is provocative....Libraries - private or public - are enriched by this book.

• Unraveling the strands and bonds of religion, culture, and politics in the turbulent history of South Africa comes as second nature to this estimable bibliography. Crisply written and exhaustively researched, this work provides content and contrast illustrating the context for Christianity within South African society....Christianty in South Africa is appropriate for academic libraries supporting programs in the history of religion of African history and politics (including apartheid).
