Abstract

This paper makes an essential contribution by arguing that shifts in German colonial educational policy, which continued under British control, consistently favoured the spread of Christianity over Islam in Tanganyika. The paper also looks at how the two colonial powers used Article 6 of the Berlin Act 1884–1885, Article 438 of the Versailles Treaty, and Article 22 of the League of Nations Covenant, as well as Command Paper No. 2374 of I925 that emphasised the protection of Christian missionaries and the provision of education by missionaries across British colonies in Africa. The aforementioned articles established colonial state-missionary partnerships and provided security to missionaries. The colonial authority’s protection of missionaries was essential to investing in the education sector, which became a centre for the spread of Christianity in the country. As a result, the spread of Christianity throughout the territory accelerated. The paper relies heavily on secondary and primary sources for this analysis.

殖民地国家在基督教在坦噶尼喀殖民地的传播和巩固中的作用,约 1890-1961 年
本文通过论证德国殖民教育政策的转变(在英国控制下仍在继续)始终有利于基督教而非伊斯兰教在坦噶尼喀的传播,做出了重要贡献。本文还探讨了两个殖民国家如何利用 1884-1885 年《柏林法案》第 6 条、《凡尔赛条约》第 438 条、《国际联盟盟约》第 22 条,以及强调保护基督教传教士和由传教士在英国非洲殖民地提供教育的 1925 年第 2374 号指令文件。上述条款建立了殖民地国家与传教士之间的伙伴关系,为传教士提供了安全保障。殖民当局对传教士的保护对投资教育部门至关重要,而教育部门则成为基督教在该国传播的中心。因此,基督教加快了在该国全境的传播。本文的分析主要依靠二手和原始资料。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Religion in Africa was founded in 1967 by Andrew Walls. In 1985 the editorship was taken over by Adrian Hastings, who retired in 1999. His successor, David Maxwell, acted as Executive Editor until the end of 2005. The Journal of Religion in Africa is interested in all religious traditions and all their forms, in every part of Africa, and it is open to every methodology. Its contributors include scholars working in history, anthropology, sociology, political science, missiology, literature and related disciplines. It occasionally publishes religious texts in their original African language.
