Sinopsi

The five main chapters are about East Africa, North Africa, West Africa, Central Africaáand South Africa, in that order. The oldest bioâÇÖs are from East Africa (e.g. Ethiopia,áNubia). Then from Egypt across to the Berbers (e.g. St Augustine was of Berberádescent). Then to the Canary Islands and down/around the West Africa coast toáNigeria. Then the Bakongo kingdom and around to Mozambique and up the Zambeziáinto deep central Africa. Then finally South Africa, starting at the Cape and workingeast and north from there. It ends up in current events of 2021, with some leaders whoáare in the news. So it is very much a book of African hagiography. Short biographicalásketches - some shorter than others, just honourable mention. But these roll out in aáway that makes for a coherent narrative of church history all around the continent.áThe book also chases a theme, which is the subtitle: "Shepherding the flock withoutáfleecing the sheep". Basically it asks the question "who moved the goalposts?"ábecause 90 percent of the bioâÇÖs over a 2000-year period are about church leaders whoásacrificed so much - even their lives. Then since 1950, pastors have become rich -owning airplanes and launching universities. This concern is not answeredádogmatically, rather it is probed. The extraordinary contradiction is noted, and theáimplied questions explored. The baseline that is used to illuminate this contrast is IáTimothy chapter 3 (which I call ' Timothy Code", a book title that tries to resonateáwith The Da Vinci Code).áThis theme is presented and wrapped up in a coherent way that ties all the biographicalsketches together. The structure is a collage - a mosaic. So that when you stand backáand look at it, there is a message that makes all the pieces hang together.
