Greeks, Rome and Christianity in Early African History: Ptolemaic Egypt, Roman Africa, Nubia, Ethiopia and the Church

This fascinating book tells the tale of how Christianity arrived on the shores of Africa. It outlines how the continent played host to serious debates as to what it actually meant to be an early Christian. Since such debates impacted political events in late antiquity — you will also learn about Alexander the Great, Byzantine Africa, Meroitic Nubia, Aksumite Ethiopia, and more. By using plain language, and featuring a number of interesting illustrations, this book certainly appeals to all.
