註釋This book traces the remarkable career of Zachariah Keodirelang Matthews, and provides a contextual missiological perspective on the life and times of this multifaceted South African. An anthropologist and lawyer by training, he spent a year at Union Theological Seminary in New York as visiting professor of World Christianity. He made a significant contribution to the Cottesloe Consultation of the World Council of Churches in Johannesburg (1960) and was eventually appointed as African director for one of the WCC programmes in Geneva. As a well-known lay Christian leader he played a major role in shaping African responses to Christianity in the mainline (mission) churches. Willem Saayman's study is based on careful archival research within a sophisticated theoretical framework informed by current debates about interdisciplinarity. It will therefore appeal to a wide readership in the fields of Religious Studies, History, Education and Sociology.
