In this episode, we are joined by Professor Emma Wild-Wood. Emma is Professor of African Religions and World Christianity and Co-director of the Centre for the Study of World Christianity at the University of Edinburgh.

Her work includes research on religious encounters in East-Central Africa, particularly Christian conversion and the growth of mission-initiated denominations from 1800 to the present day and faith and health in East-Central Africa.

You can read more of her research in her books Migration and Christian Identity in Congo (DRC) and The Mission of Apolo Kivebulaya: Religious Encounter and Social Change in the Great Lakes c. 1865–1935 (which has an accompanying source book).
