In "Kenisha," the exploration of the religious history of Ethiopia and Eritrea unfolds as a rich narrative that delves into the origins and development of evangelical Protestantism in these countries. Building on Gustav Arn's original account, this work not only retraces Arn's steps but also advances the story, providing a comprehensive understanding of the religious landscape.
The narrative extends to encompass the fate of the mission and the church, offering insights into the significant impact of the heyday of Italian colonialism in Eritrea from the mid-1920s to 1935. This crucial period plays a substantial role in shaping the trajectory of religious development in the region.
"Kenisha" serves as a valuable contribution to the historical understanding of the religious dynamics in Ethiopia and Eritrea. By examining the historical context, the work provides readers with a nuanced perspective on the interplay between religion, colonialism, and the broader social fabric. The narrative unfolds as a journey through time, shedding light on the challenges and transformations that have shaped the religious landscape of these East African nations.
This book is likely to appeal to readers interested in the intersection of history, religion, and colonialism, offering a thoughtful exploration of Ethiopia and Eritrea's religious evolution
