This essay explores the shape, form, tone, and outlook of
Protestantism on the African continent. I present the
argument that, by and large, ‘African Protestantism’ is of a
different order for its Euro-American counterparts. In order to
illustrate and pursue this line of argument, the case study of
Jacobus Capitein, a 17th century African slave who was to
later become the first Protestant minister trained in theology is
advanced. Capitein, together with his work as a pastor at the
slave castle called Elmina near the Ghanaian city of Cape
Coast in Ghana, is held up as a mirror of African
Protestantism. The essay concludes with a discussion about
the prospects of Protestant Christianity in Africa. |
