Christianity in Eurafrica is an impressive book, meticulously researched and well written by a professional scholar. The first chapter includes some valuable historiographical guidelines for writing and understanding the History of the Church. In its first part, the book traces the history of the Church in the Middle East and Europe, explaining the roots of theological diversity to this day. In the second part, the author narrates how the Faith moved south, took root in African soil and grew independently. Many pictures and illustrations serve to further enliven the account. Steven Paas, taught Theology in Malawi for many years. He writes from a deep knowledge of and love for the Lord’s Church, especially in Africa and Europe. This textbook on the history of Christianity in two continents fits with the curricula 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. The book is, however, also invaluable for all scholars of the History of Christianity.

From Calvinist to Catholic, from Charismatic to AmaZioni, the Rainbow Nation has one of the most colourful, variegated, and bewildering array of Christian churches in the world. Where on earth did they all come from? How did they develop? What do they believe? How are they related to one another? In this clear and readable history of Christianity in South Africa, Kevin Roy answers these questions with comprehensive, succinct and rigorous historical analysis with sympathy and honesty. Dr Roy does not shy away from the failures and sins of the participants in this story that intertwines with the history of the peoples and tribes in South Africa. This book is a testimony of divine love and patience in the midst of human folly and frailty, of successes and faithful service to God.

Taking the three continents in turn, the documents trace chronologically the transfer of Christianity from the beginning of Western colonization through the end of the Cold War. Traditional forms of Christianity in Asia and Africa are not covered. The emphasis is on the voices of people working in the field--both missionaries and Indigenous people--rather than those at the imperial centers.

A History of the Church in Africa: A Survey from a Pentecostal Perspective highlights the background, beginning, and development of the church of Jesus Christ in Africa from a pentecostal perspective. The course demonstrates how African Christianity is vital to the larger picture of Christian history. The author uses the analogy of a river to illustrate the plan of God. He also explores the concept of the kingdom of God and discusses how the African church witnessed to God's mission (missio Dei) by expanding to North Africa along the Nile corridor and to other locations below the Sahara desert. The course also examines the reasons why the church collapsed for the most part in North Africa and Nubia but survived in Ethiopia. The author believes that lessons must also be learned about medieval African Christianity. In addition, this course examines the reasons for the European settlement in Africa and the impact this had on the spread of Christianity. Special attention is given to the history of the Pentecostal movement. Questions addressed include the following: What is the relationship of past, present, and future events in the African church? What are the long-term effects resulting from seeing the African church as a missionary church? What is the strategic place of the African church in the end-times?
