Description
"When considering how the word of God was introduced to the Agikuyu, a line can be drawn between inculcation of a new faith on the one hand, and on the other, the development of the intellect among the converts. This insight becomes evident when the translated biblical texts were used as primers for basic literacy. The Bible became the only available text for introducing Africans to reading and writing skills. Taken at face value, the Bible allowed Africans to learn the unquestionable truth about God, and also, various aspects of secular knowledge. At the schools and churches run by missionaries, Bible lessons included interpretation of the parables, miracles, harmony of the Gospels. Thus it was through exposure to selected portions of the Bible that Africans first encountered and acquired the skills of literacy."--Back cover.
