Good condition. "Bengt Sundkler's Bantu Prophets in South Africa (1948, second edition 1961) has become widely known as a pioneering work on the life and ideology of Independent African Churches. After three decades, Professor Sundkler has returned to the same Zulu and Swazi churches in which he began his research in 1940. This time he interprets them from a different point of view. He has concentrated on the history and the leading personalities of some of these churches, including that of the famous Isaiah Shembe. The difference in time and perspective between the earlier book and this new volume leads to challenging questions concerning the South African church movement as a whole. The present study is built on rich finds of original source material.".
