Inhaltsangabe

The Primal Vision is widely regarded as one of the most important books ever published on the subject of African Christianity. In a sympathetic and warmly empathetic style, John Taylor tellsof his encountrs with many different African people, and reflects theologically on the conversations he has shared with men, women and children in a wide variety of circumstances. By suggesting that the missionary should listen and learn from indigenous culture, and appreciate his status as a guest, the book points towards a revisionist understanding of Christian mission. John V. Taylor was Bishop of Winchester from 1975-85 and General Secretary of the Church Missionary Society from 1963 to 74. He died in 2001.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

John Taylor, born in Des Moines in 1952, has lived in France since 1977. He is the author of several volumes of short prose and poetry, most recently The Dark Brightness (Xenos Books, 2017), Grassy Stairways (The MadHat Press, 2017), Remembrance of Water & Twenty-Five Trees (The Bitter Oleander Press, 2018), and a "double book" coauthored with the Swiss poet Pierre Chappuis, A Notebook of Clouds & A Notebook of Ridges (The Fortnightly Review Press, 2019). As a polyglot literary critic and translator from French, Italian, and Modern Greek, Taylor has long been a bridge between European literature and English-speaking countries. His translation of Elias Papadimitrakopoulos's stories, Toothpaste with Chlorophyll & Maritime Hots Baths, originally published by Asylum Arts in 1992, was republished in 2020 by Coyote Arts.
