Christianity in Africa in 2011
The role of Africa in Christianity has been central at key points in its development, in the New Testament, the Old Testament and the founding of the early church. In recent decades, Africa’s relation to the Christian faith has been troubling and uplifting at the same time. Africa is a country deeply rooted in Christianity. Egypt was a core place in the Old Testament where seminal biblical stories occurred. Joseph was enslaved there, Moses was born and raised in Pharaoh’s house. Moses brought the Hebrew slaves into freedom. Abraham was in Egypt and Canaan for a while as well. There are many, many stories rooted in Africa on Christianity. Joseph married an Egyptian woman, Asenath, who was descended from Mizraim, which made her Hamitic. Thus there is a strong possibility that Asenath was … Read entire article »
