The Dominican Friars in Southern Africa: A Social History (1577-1990): Studies in Christian Mission, cartea 21

Autor Philippe Denis
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 iun 1998
The purpose of this book is to gather in a single narrative the rather disparate stories of Dominican friars in Southern Africa over the past four centuries. Dominicans from Portugal and Portuguese India were present in South-East Africa from 1577 to 1835. Patrick Raymond Griffith, an Irish Dominican, became the first resident bishop in South Africa in 1837. A Dominican mission was established in 1917 with the arrival of a group of English friars. A second group arrived from the Netherlands in 1932.
The aim is to provide a social history of the Dominicans in Southern Africa, that is, a history that deals specifically with the social and cultural factors of historical development. The Dominicans ministered in a political, social and cultural context which impacted on their apostolic activities and, in turn, was affected by them. The book's terminus ad quem is 1990, when the National Party opened a process of political negotiation, thus ending more than forty years of apartheid rule.

Recenzii

'...this study is [...] a fine example of historical methodology.'
Charles S. Walter, Missiology, 2000.
This book is indeed, as it claims, `a social history’, something far more than the story of one quite small group of priests and nuns…this is a book to be warmly welcomed.
Adrian Hastings, Ecclestical Hist., 2000.
