Dayfoot describes the development of Christian churches in the English-speaking Caribbean during the entire colonial era, from 1492 to the time of West Indian independence from Great Britain in 1962. He focuses especially on the leading church personalities and ordinary Christians who shaped the history and explores all aspects of religious life from the disestablishment of the Church of England to the varieties of missions to the islands, to issues of tolerance and social justice - especially the clash between religion and the values of a slave society.
