GLASSON, T., Mastering Christianity. Missionary Anglicanism and Slavery in the Atlantic World. Oxford University Press, 2011. 328p. Hardback. Mastering Christianity examines why Anglican authorities came (belatedly) to the missionary impulse, how they sought to put this desire into practice, and why they proved so ineffectual, at least in regard to the conversion of the Africans who lived under British rule. This is a fascinating, if also somewhat depressing, study of an institution whose religious and moral principles, and potential for doing good, were fatally compromised by its social and political ties and ambitions.
