The Man of Heaven and the Beautiful Ones of God: Writings from Ibandla lamaNazaretha, a South African Church: Studies of Religion in Africa, cartea 24
Autor Elizabeth Gunneren Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 apr 2002
The book provides a substantial, contextualising introduction which includes discussion of the church’s history and its position in contemporary South Africa, and weaves in discussion of the topics of literacy and modernity. The book then moves to the three documents, presented in their language of composition, Zulu and in an English translation. The three ‘books’, each from Shembe’s Nazareth Baptist Church, provide the reader with a fascinating insight into the growth and organisation of one of southern Africa’s most influential African Churches, and into the use and interpretation of the Bible by the church’s founder, Isaiah Shembe, and by church members. Central to the writings is the complex presence of Shembe, present both through his own words in the first book and, in the second book, through the memory of Meshack Hadebe, a member of the church in the 1920’s and 1930’s. The extracts in the third book provide a glimpse of the church’s hymnal and the unique religious poetry of the hymns, authored by Shembe.

Public țintă
The book is extremely useful for students of Christianity in Africa, and of Black intellectual history, and resistance and creativity on the part of Black leaders and communities. It also shows an African religious leader’s wide Biblical knowledge and its application in the life and structure of the church he founded. The first and second books in particular are a valuable addition to the genres of biography and autobiography of Black Africans in the early decades of the twentieth century. The dual language text, in Zulu and English (apart from the introduction), allows the original words their own dimension of meaning and is useful for scholars of African languages.Notă biografică
