Many deep baptisms: reflections on religious, chiefly Muslim, conversion in Black Africa

Author:

Fisher Humphrey J.

Abstract

The primary purpose of this paper—apart from a personal concern to offer a token of affection and respect to a friend and colleague of many years’ standing—is to consider two analytical models (one drawn from early Christian history, the other from the history of science), and to suggest ways in which these may help us to interpret the data of religious, and in particular Muslim, change in sub-Saharan Africa.
