This is a collection of essays published by Cluster in Pietermaritzburg, around Bishop John Colenso. They reflect research and debate around the main issues in Colenso’s life and ministry – the interpretation of scripture, ministry by missionaries to indigenous peoples, religion and science, authority and the church, and the way we conduct our debates.
The result is slightly frustrating in that the various contributors inevitably criss-cross some familiar terrain while writing on different aspects (the business of William Ngidi is beaten to death) but the overall result is a wide and thought-provoking study and reflection on this fascinating if irritating man, and his life and times. Some of these issues have by no means gone away.
