Christianity in Eurafrica - Paperback

by Steven Paas (Author)

Nothing has bound Africa and Europe more together than the history of Christianity. From Paradise onwards, the Church has existed as the communion of believers. As the Body of Jesus Christ she started in Jerusalem. Through the proclamation of the Gospel she soon reached parts of Africa and the Atlantic Coasts, from where - after the Middle Ages and particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries - she deeply rooted in Sub-Saharan Africa. Today, in post-modern ti mes, African Christianity is being challenged to re-plant the Church insecularized Europe.

This textbook on the history of Christianity in two continents fits with the curriculae of institutions of theological training in Africa and the West. The content is especially aimed at students who prepare for the ministry and for Christian education.
