Introduction to Suriname's Christian History

The Republic of Suriname, located in northern South America, has a rich and diverse history going back several centuries. This has seen the introduction of Christianity and the establishment and creation of many church denominations.

Need for Accurate Historical Dialogue

To date, major theological works have failed to provide correct, balanced, and informative dialogue on the history of Christianity and its developments in Suriname. In response to the lack of information available to the academic world, this publication aims to provide a survey of the history, a summary of the works of theologians, and a guide to reliable sources about Christianity in Suriname.

Scope and Purpose of the Publication

Through overviewing the history of the major denominations in Suriname and focusing on some major issues surrounding Christianity, the author delivers a unique single volume for both the general reader and a starting point for further research.
