Resource Links
Here I link to a few basic resources for studying African Christianity, the Bible, and church ministry. If you get any broken links, please let me know in the comments. Someday, I may expand this page with sub-pages, in the meantime, I hope it serves as a good starting point. Many of the sites I link to have much better collections of resource links and will be able to maintain them much more regularly. [28 April 2008]
Disclaimer: Just because I link to a site doesn’t mean that I agree with everything you will find on it. (This should go without saying, but . . . )
