Opis

This book covers the history of Christianity in Africa from the first century to the present, highlighting the roles of the Coptic and Ethiopian Churches in preserving Christianity and inspiring African nationalism (in the case of the Ethiopian Church). The author discusses the involvement of Africans and African-Americans in the planting of Christianity in Africa, and presents an in-depth and extensive study of the origin and development of African theology. This is the first book to cover the presence of Christianity in Africa from the first century in a continuous fashion, discussing all the contributions of Africans in the formulation of doctrine as well as covering contemporary issues.
