Publisher's Synopsis

This masterpiece qualifies as the entire biblical studies in miniature. It contains history, poetry, hermeneutics, colonialism and cultural heritage. It traces the names of the pioneer missionaries to Calabar, the first capital of Nigeria and the interactions that were both colonial and cordial. Some ideas on trans-Atlantic slave trade can be deduced from the local slavery economy that crossed paths with the local evangelization of the Calabar natives.
