Abstract
[Setback and Recovery, John Foster’s memorable title, captures well the task that the Dictionary of African Christian Biography (DACB) placed before itself as its central focus during the past twenty years: that of writing African Christian biography. What is in danger of fading away, the DACB has sought to recover. The DACB has taken the bold step of seeking to amplify echoes from the historical shadows and to drag African names from the fringes and margins and onto the central stage of World Christianity.]
