Christian History Magazine—Issue 62: Bound for Canaan: Africans in America
Overview
The story of African-American Christians before the Civil War is the story of the Gospel’s power to free. It is the story of a faith that finally overwhelmed whips, shackles, and southern law; faith that persevered in spite of illiteracy, superstition, and cowardice; faith that endured even northern courts and “Bible Christianity.” It is the story of how the Gospel took root in the lives of African-Americans and gave them hope and courage in tragic conditions—and gave them freedom. This issue of Christian History and Biography covers the struggle of both free and slave Christians from the perspectives of White and African-American scholars and historians.
