Product Description
This study examines the role of Christianity in Liberia under the corrupt regime of Samuel K. Doe (1980-1990). Paul Gifford shows that, in general, Liberian Christianity--far from being a force for justice and human advancement--diverted attention from the cause of Liberia's ills, left change to God's miraculous intervention, encouraged obedience and acceptance of the status quo, and thus served to entrench Doe's power. This Christianity, devised in and controlled from the United States, thus furthered regional American economic and political objectives, which were designed to support Doe's rule.

 | Well-researched May 29, 2007 |
| The author vividly captures some of the social ills which characterized the autocratic regime of Samuel Doe which eventually led to the bloodbath which decimated Liberia. An excellent read for anyone who wishes to understand the collusion between the African Christian church and some autocratic regimes in Africa. | | | Write your own review about Christianity and Politics in Doe's Liberia (Cambridge Studies in Ideology and Religion)
