Summary: This book briefly recounts the history of the establishment and expansion of Christianity during the colonial and post-colonial eras.

Although statistically small, evangelical Christian groups in particular are trying to increase membership and influence, which may have adverse reactions in the countries whose populations are adherents of other major world faiths.
