As well as a title, this little observation provided a recurring metaphor for his reflection on the nation which calls itself \"Christian.\" It also provided an excuse for incorporating Emma Jane Kerr's beautiful artwork. How a \"Christian Nation\" could happen in a century, out of the most unpromising beginnings, is the story. As \u003cem\u003eButterfly Christian Nation\u003c\/em\u003e describes it, only God could span the mighty gulf between Livingstone's Ilala deathbed and today's Zambia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in Buenos Aires, John Kerr is a Canadian globalist who feels best in the Southern Hemisphere. He and his wife, Ruth, have been teaching on the Zambian copperbelt for twenty-two years, at Trans-Africa Christian University. Masters studies in English LIterature with the late John O'Neill were academic highlights; John also holds a doctorate in New Testament studies from UNISA, South Africa. Along with teaching, John enjoys preaching and church ministry -- ministries which have engaged him at various stages for twenty years. John and Ruth are parents of two sons and seven grandchildren.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 302\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.68 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 18, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42663823802464,"sku":"9781460009420","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/TVFpYm9QaFhoN2lzQlhCMy9OOVZtZz09.webp?v=1774504223","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/butterfly-christian-nation-dr-livingstones-luminous-legacy-in-zambia-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
