The DACB records the untold stories of African Christians who have transformed the history of the African church and transformed Christian history. The Dictionary of African Christian Biography is a non-proprietary electronic database covering all the denominations and church branches of African Christianity, including the missionary movement, from earliest times to the present, over all of Africa. Broadly interconfessional, historically descriptive, exploiting the full range of oral and written records, the DACB seeks to foster an understanding of African Christianity as something more than simply a footnote to the story of European tribes.
