Reviews

'David Lindenfeld emphasizes the Indigenous experience across a range of responses, from grateful acceptance to bitter resistance and all points in between. His nuanced account is neither simply imperial in tone nor crudely and damningly anti-imperial. Particularly impressive is the range of examples and illustrations, which include the Nahua (Aztecs), the Cherokee and Sioux in North America and multiple peoples across Africa, Asia, and Oceania.' Philip Jenkins, The Christian Century '… it is recommended for students of mission history and world Christianity and will be instructive as an introduction to Christianity among the IPs of the Americas, Africa, and Oceania.' Rathiulung Elias KC, Religious Studies Review
