500			_aAbstract 'The Church in Africa 1450-1950' discusses the historical development and character of the whole Christian Church in Africa. Christianity provided the constitutive identity of historic Ethopia from long before the fifteenth century, and from niniteenth it entered decisively into the life and culture of an increasing number of other African peoples. The book links together Ethiopian Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, and the numerous Independent churches of modern times, and focuses throughout on the role of conversion, the shaping of church life and its relationship to traditional values, and the impact of political power.
