- Notes
- "Edited by Andrew C. Wheeler".
- "The papers presented in this volume were all presented at a conference held at Limuru, in Kenya, in February 1997. That conference brought together 35 scholars from Sudan and many other parts of the world to consider the theme `The Church in Sudan: Its Impact Past, Present and Future'. The meeting was motivated by the strong awareness that the churches in Sudan are growing very rapidly -- indeed the Sudanese Church may be the fastest growing Church in Africa today -- and that this was an event of major importance for the whole nation of Sudan." -- Intro. p. [7].
