Ethiopianism: Past and Present The history of Christianity, - TopicsExpress



          

Ethiopianism: Past and Present The history of Christianity, like the history of all great religions and social movements, is strewn with the wrecks of words, wrenched from their original meanings, widened or narrowed, and forced into a bewildering variety of vessels that church their ways in seas of semantic confusion. The Church of Africa south of the Sahara has acquired and added to the many Christian verbal transmogrifications that came originally from the north. In its turn, it has produced its own eccentric ecclesiastical etymology, of which, perhaps the most striking example is the story of Ethiopianism. --- George Shepperson Ethiopianism: Past and Present Christianity in Tropical Africa (1968)
