HISTORY Africa Religion  –

• 19th Century Expansion: This period saw a massive influx of missionaries from Europe, focusing on both missionary work and exploration.
• Key Figures: The work of notable missionaries such as David Livingstone, Robert and Mary Moffat, and Christian Schroeda was central to this era.
• Methodology: Missionaries established stations to provide Gospel instruction and train natives in “habits of industry,” which was often met with resistance, making it difficult to secure attendance at services and schools.
• Geographical Spread: Missionary work spread from the Cape Colony into the interior, including the Natal-Zulu Mission, which established multiple stations within ten years.
• The “Amazion” Movement: Later, in the early 1900s, this movement spread via men working in Johannesburg’s mines, later spreading to neighbouring countries. 

• Structure: The book is noted for providing in-depth detail on the period before 1850.
• Publication: First published in 1911 by Longmans, Green and Co., with later editions in the 1960s.
