The primal vision

"In a sympathetic and warmly empathic style, John Taylor tells of his encounters with many different African people, and reflects theologically on the conversations he has shared with men, women and children in a wide variety of circumstances. By suggesting that the missionary should listen and learn from indigenous culture, and appreciate his status as a guest, the book points towards a revisionist understanding of Christian mission. It is now reissued with a new preface, a new postscript by the author, and an extensive introduciton by the Kenyan theologican Jesse Mugambi."--Back cover.
