Adam Mohr has through Enchanted Calvinism drawn attention to some
of the important themes in Christianity that is authentically
African and some of the tensions that emerged as western
missionaries tried virtually to duplicate their forms of rational
and cerebral Christianity within African contexts like Ghana.

[A] powerful contribution to Africanist scholarship.
*AMERICAN ETHNOLOGIST*
Adam Mohr is without doubt one of the most fascinating new scholars
of historical anthropology working in West Africa and the United
States today, and his work -- which resides at the dynamic
intersection of medical anthropology, colonial and postcolonial
diaspora studies, and the global history of religion -- is truly
original and Atlantic in scope. As I read Dr. Mohr's book, I am
myself enchanted by his attention to detail, his nuance and
subtlety, and the brilliance with which he pulls together lives and
histories almost one hundred and fifty years apart.
