520    In Making African Christianity author Robert J. Houle 
       argues that Africans successfully naturalized 
       Christianity. This book examines the long history of the 
       faith among colonial Zulu Christians (known as amakholwa) 
       in what would become South Africa. As it has become clear 
       that Africans are not discarding Christianity, a number of
       scholars have taken up the challenge of understanding why 
       this is the case and how we got to this point. Where 
       others have focused on the economic and political 
       potential of conversion, this book argues that we need to 
       understand what was embedded within the faith that 
       Africans found so appealing. Houle argues that translation
       did not end with the bible, but extended to Christian 
       theology which needed to be fully appropriated before the 
       faith was secure on the continent. . For Zulu, the 
       religion was not a good fit until converts filled critical
       gaps in the faith, such as how Christianity could account 
       for the active and everyday presence of the ancestral 
       spirits- a problem that was true for African converts 
       across the continent in slightly different ways. This book
       offers fresh insight into the history behind the 
       contemporary success of Christianity on the continent and 
       will be welcomed by African historians, thoseinterested in
       the history of colonialism, missions, southern African, 
       and in particular Christianity.
