Book Review: Presbyterian Reformers in Central Africa: A Documentary Account of the American Presbyterian Congo Mission and the Human Rights Struggle in the Congo, 1890–1918

an accurate view of the religious question available to date. One of the most difficult issues for Westerners to grasp is historical memory, which serves as the grounding reasons for most judgments. From the eyes of a Westerner, a careful reading of religious experience as it functions in Russia is essential. The marriage of church and state in direct opposition to our view of separation is one of many new concepts for exploration. Religion has functioned and continues to function as a vital component of the empire according to Metropolitan Kirin's essay, "Gospel and Culture." The history of wars and the placement and misplacement of people are reasons for religions to become sanctions or not to become sanctions in new legislation. Hence, as one reads on, the considerable new views of the nature of religion in Russia are quite different than in the West. This collection of essays is essential reading for those who are preparing to travel to Russia as missionaries, but also for those who are in business and education. This book is not a systematic development of a single issue, but like most realities in the East, it is a mystical delving into the questions and answers that provides rich and deep levels of meaning to ponder. There are no easy answers and no clear questions, but rather one feels that after reading the essays one has probed into extremely worthwhile issues for missiological reflection.
