Description :
Kenisha by K. J. Lundstr&#246mand Ezra Gebremedhin is a welcome addition
to the religious history of Ethiopia and Eritrea. It builds on Gustav Ar&#233ns
magisterial account of the origins and development of evangelical
Protestantism in the same countries, re-covering some of the same ground
and carrying the story through to include an account of the fate of the mission
and the church, which was, in large part, the outcome of its activities, in the
heyday of Italian colonialism in Eritrea from the mid-1920s to 1935. It speaks,
harmoniously, with two voices. Lundstr&#246mhad laid out much of the
material, but left the manuscript unfinished at the time of his death.
Q&#233sEzra has edited and re-organized that material, while leaving
Lundstr&#246ms actual words as he received them, and added an account of
his own role in the project and an introduction and concluding section to most
of the chapters. The book is extensively illustrated with historic photo-graphs
and much enlivened by Q&#233sEzra s personal insights. The recent history
of Eritrea has been dominated by warfare and politics, which obscure the
institutional and personal histories, which have gone into its making. On page
323, Q&#233sEzra quotes Professor AsmeromLegesse, who, writing of the
Evangelical church presence in Asmara, notes that ... the impact of these
institutions on Eritrea is immeasurable. Kenisha is an indispensable account of
the source of this impact. Professor Emeritus Donald Crummey, Urbana,
Illinois This book deals with the background and development of the
Evangelical Church of Eritrea between 1866 and 1935, a story marked by
moving examples of a spiritual search for peace with God and the discovery of
the Gospel of Grace. Furthermore, it describes and comments upon aspects of
Eritrea s religious, cultural, social and political history for the same period. We
highly recommend this story of the evangelistic efforts of the Swedish
Evangelical Mission and The Evangelical Church of Eritrea to all who are
interested in the history of not only Eritrea but also the Horn of Africa. Qeshi
Asfaha Mehari, former President of the ELCE is the present Head of The
Department of Studies of the ELCE.
