Book Reviews of The Poor Christ of Bomba
Book Review: Great
Summary: 5 Stars
The book gives a really great look into colonialism and missionaries in Cameroon in the first half of the 20th century. Looking into Beti's past, it's obvious he has a strong bias against Christian missionaries--specifically Catholics. Nevertheless, the book is really great and has much deeper meaning even on a religious level, as there are strong parallels to the Bible.
