Info

In With the Gospel to Maasailand Kim Groop studies the Lutheran mission among the Arusha and Maasai peoples in Tanzania. The book provides interesting insight into nearly 70 years of mission work. It takes the reader from the initial pioneer efforts of the Leipzig Mission in 1904, through two world wars and the end of colonisation, up to 1973 when the Arusha and Maasai founded their own Church Synod. The author examines various aspects of the Lutheran work, which was characterized by significant challenges, a solid determination and – under the circumstances – quite satisfying results. Kim Groop’s book is a valuable contribution not only to the history of the Lutheran Church in Tanzania, but also to European, American and African mission history in general.
