This book makes accessible some of the fruits not only of Stephen Kauta Msiska's years of active pastoral ministry and theological teaching but also of his time of lonely suffering and sorrow. Distinctive in the writing of his pioneering theologian is a profound, though not uncritical, sympathy with the traditional religion of his people combined with a passionate concern for authentic Christian discipleship. Careful readers of this original and thoughful book will find the "golden buttons" which Stephen Kauta is determined should not be lost.
