First Steps in Zulu (Classic Reprint): Being an Elementary Grammar of the Zulu Language: Being an Elementary Grammar of the Zulu Language (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from First Steps in Zulu
The Wesleyan Missionaries have translated the whole Bible and most of the prayer-book of the Church of England into the amaxosa dialect. But it varies so much from the vernacular of these parts that these books, though easily understood by an intelligent Zulu, are of little use among the great body of Natal natives.

About the Author
John William Colenso was consecrated the first Bishop of Natal on 30th November 1853 and died at Bishopstowe in 1883. The publication of this Commentary on Romans in 1861 sparked a controversy over the legitimate lengths to which the Church could go in accommodating itself to African culture, with major consequences for church and society in South Africa. This remarkable book is now made available again in the hope that Colenso's courageous engagement with African culture may resonate with and inspire contemporary work on enculturation of the gospel.
