Robert W. Woodruff Library, Jones Room, 540 Asbury Circle, Atlanta, GA 30322
Wednesday, May 28, 2014, 8:45am – 5pm
This event will gather together historians of World Christianity to present the essays they are contributing for a volume edited by Arun W. Jones, Associate Professor of World Evangelism, Candler School of Theology, Emory University.
The book is tentatively entitled Can the Native Christian Speak? Discerning the Voices of Indigenous Christians in Missionary and Colonial Archives. The essays address the difficult question of how historians of Christianity in Africa, Asia and the Americas can write histories of indigenous Christian communities when much, if not all of their primary sources are produced, selected and archived by Europeans (including Europeans settled in North America, Australasia and other continents).
