Focusing on the historical impact of a Christian mission in Africa, this study explores Malawi's economy and society in the mid-19th century, the background of the Livingstonia Mission, and David Livingstone's influence. It highlights the initial failure of "commerce and Christianity" at Lake Malawi, contrasted with the mission's positive reception in northern Malawi. The latter part delves into African responses, Christianity's political implications, and reassessments of the Watch Tower movement and Christian independence. The revised edition features a new introduction and updated bibliography.
