Product Description This study of the development of Christianity in Africa begins in antiquity and shows how North Africa produced some of the most influential intellects of the time. The author looks at how colonialism revived Christianity in the fifteenth century and how missionaries began work in the eighteenth, and finally how social factors have influenced the nature of the faith in modern Africa. | ||

A truly enormous story Isichei conveys one of the most dramatic stories of recent history. It is a gigantic tale of passion and creativity, as African Christians claimed independence from colonial churches, launched a myriad of indiginized "new religions", and formed the largest movements of popular Christianity in the modern world. --author of "Different Visions of Love" | ||
