Since the sixteenth century, Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity and the indigenous religions of Ethiopia have been confron­ted with, and influenced by, numerous Catholic and Prote­stant missions. This book offers historical, anthropological and personal analyses of these encounters. The discussion ranges from the Jesuit debate on circumcision to Oromo Bi­ble translation, from Pentecostalism in Addis Ababa to con­version processes among the Nuer. Juxtaposing past and pre­sent, urban and rural, the book breaks new ground in both religious and African studies.
