The Poisonwood Bible
by Barbra Kingsolver
This novel is about a missionary family the Prices. The father is an arrogant fiery evangelical Baptist missionary who in 1959 moves his family from the U.S. state of Georgia to the village of Kilanga in the Belgian Congo, close to the Kwilu River. He is determined to “save Africa for Jesus”. They are woefully unprepared for the Belgian Congo in every respect: culturally, geographically and politically.
The novel's title refers to Bible errata. The father of the family creates his own "misprint" of the Bible. He concludes his sermons with the Kikongo expression "Tata Jesus is bängala" with the intent of saying "Jesus is most precious". In his hurried mispronunciation, he actually says "Jesus is poisonwood".
