Bembaland Church Religious and Social Change in South Central Africa, 1891-1964

Roman Catholic missionaries entered the territory of Bemba-speakers in Central Africa in 1891. Seventy years later the Church in Bembaland was about to enter a new phase as an independent religious community within a newly established African nation. This book traces the stages of church growth from its pioneering introduction to a traditional agricultural polity, through periods of disturbing economic and social change, to the later challenges from autochthonous Christian foundations originating in both the Catholic and Protestant traditions.Garvey, Brian is the author of 'Bembaland Church Religious and Social Change in South Central Africa, 1891-1964' with ISBN 9789004099579 and ISBN 9004099573.
