Dr. Andrew Walls, missionary to Sierra Leone and Nigeria and now professor at the University of Edinburgh, teaches on the history of Christianity in Africa.


TOPICS: Current Events; Ministry/Outreach; Religion & Culture
KEYWORDS: africa; africachristianity; africachristians; christianhistory; christianity
I think this lecture is a useful antidote to the efforts and messages of Marxism, Islam and Afro-supremacism.

It’s not a lecture about he political issues I mentioned.

The speaker is simply relating some historical accounts of some early African Christians. The stories are very similar to other tellings of early Christianity, it’s just from the geographical area of Africa.

One item: in 1900 AD, there were about 10 million African Christians.

In the year 2000 AD, there were 300 million.

The speaker thinks Africa could become a dominant force in world Christian history.
