Description
This publication provides in book form some of the most important documents and sources of South African church history, from its early beginnings to the modern period. The value of a book like this lies in the ready availability of church historical 'witnesses'. It is especially useful for students who wish to acquire some of the basic skills needed to become a church historian, that is handling and interpreting some of the basic sources. The eventual aim is to provide a historical overview of the establishment and expansion of Christianity at the southern tip of Africa.
