The introduction of Christianity into sub-Saharan Africa has contributed to social change and the rise of nationalism. As a product of the missionary's work, particularly during the early decades of the twentieth century, Africans learned new norms and habits and were inducted into new roles. From these, recruitment into proto-nationalist churches, mass parties, and roles in the modern sector of society has occurred. Statistical evidence from ten countries shows positive relationships between the rise of Christianity and the growth of indicators of development such as education, wage labor, electrical consumption and urbanization. Conversely, negative relationships are found with communication variables. The overall effect of Christianity, however, has been positive.
