Christian missionaries did not come to Africa for: their own interests, the Christianization of Africa, European colonial projects, the interests of Africans, the establishment of European civilization in Africa, but came for all. Once, there was a dialogue between the Christian missionaries and pagan Africans which was in time replaced by contest for superiority, and finally by conflict. Accordingly, the countenance of the continent has changed forever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46437517033623,"sku":"9781032577784","price":3818.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032577784.webp?v=1769135331","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/christianity-and-the-african-counter-discourse-in-achebe-and-beti-cultures-in-dialogue-contest-and-conflict-9781032577784","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
