Africa and the Early Church: The Almost-Forgotten Roots of Catholic Christianity

• Amazing history of Northern Africa's role in Christianity
• An untold or forgotten story
• African contributions to theology, liturgy, biblical studies and culture
• Recover the lost treasure of this rich history
• Great gift for those who enjoy studying the history of the Faith

When we survey the history of the Faith, it is undeniable that the lands of northern Africa were profoundly influential in the development of early Christianity. The faith arrived early in Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, Libya, and the territories we now call Eritrea, Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. African Christians made decisive contributions in theology, liturgy, biblical studies, and culture. With the Arab invasions of the seventh and eight centuries, much of this history was lost to Europe, though the marks of ancient influence remained.

Africa and the Early Church: The Almost-Forgotten Roots of Catholic Christianity uncovers that lost history for interested modern readers, telling the story as much as possible in the words of the great figures in antiquity. To acknowledge these Christians and their churches is to complete the historical picture—and to remember what was once common knowledge.
