President Frederick Chiluba and Zambia: Evangelicals and Democracy in a Christian Nation, Isabel Apawo Phiri's chapter in Terence O. Ranger's edited volume, Oxford University Press 2008, examines Chiluba's 1991 Christian-nation declaration and its 1996 entry into the constitutional preamble. Its strength is that it is a peer-reviewed academic chapter treating the one claim, the timing of Chiluba's declaration, that predates Roberts' A History of Zambia, the other source on this fact. Its limit is that no stable publisher URL could be confirmed at the time of this record, a gap named here rather than guessed at.
