This book delves into the captivating story of the early Christian church in Buganda, a region of modern Uganda, and explores the unique social and political context in which it emerged. The author takes a detailed look at the reign of Kabaka Mutesa I, the thirtieth ruler of Buganda, who held immense power and influence over his people.
