Abstract
This article considers African-Christian expressions of identity in South Africa in the early twentieth century. In contrast to the emphasis in postcolonial studies on African-Christian engagements as negotiations of/capitulations to modernity or the colonisation of consciousness, the article redirects attention to the agency of African-Christians themselves in many of the mission encounters, and the transformations which they worked upon the biblical message, many of the effects of which are still felt today.
