O knihe
The Historical Churches of the Caribbean Island of Antigua is a two-part book. Part one examines and analyses the complex relationship between the Older Established Churches, Slavery and their Black converts. Part two showcases 24 historic churches and detail their history, congregation establishment, architectural skills and craftsmanship, and the strong influence they had on the religious and social life of the people. According to the research evidence, missionaries and slave owners joined forces to convert enslaved Africans to Christianity. Both parties benefited from this mutual arrangement, as missionaries gained souls and slave owners gained a very obedient slave population. With the rise of black consciousness and a renewed emphasis on reparations for slavery, the descendants of slaves have begun to question Christianity's role in slavery, its abuses and oppression.
