The Origin of Christianity Moses O. Adeola

Contrary to what many believe, Christianity was not introduced to Africa by the European missionaries that arrived in the nineteenth century. In fact, the Judeo-Christian tradition was widely practiced in Africa before the New Testament Christianity era. In The Origin of Christianity, readers will explore the historical development of Christianity in Africa while reading about the contributions from people of color to Christendom. Included are the works of pioneers and martyrs of Christendom, eminent scholars and other notable names throughout history. This comprehensive historical account delves into the struggle between Christianity and Islam up to the fourteenth century and offers a plausible solution to the cultural and religious dilemma that is so germane to people of color in the Diaspora. Regardless of your religious beliefs, The Origin of Christianity is an indispensable guide to the true development of the Judeo-Christian tradition and a must-read for people of color around the globe.
