Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martyrs, exegetes, catechumens, and councils enlarge this study of North African Christianity, a region often reduced to its dominant patristic personalities. Smither provides English readers a quality translation of an important book that captures the unique spirit of an invaluable chapter of church history. Along with the churches located in large Greek cities of the East, the church of Carthage was particularly significant in the early centuries of Christian history. Initially, the Carthaginian churchbecame known for its martyrs. Later, the North African church became further established and unified through the regular councils of its bishops. Finally, the church gained a reputation for its outstanding leaders - Tertullian of Carthage (c. 140-220), Cyprian of Carthage (195-258), and Augustine of Hippo (354-430) - African leaders who continued to be celebrated and remembered today.
Book Synopsis Out of Darkness, Comes the Light by : Rufus Jimerson
Download or read book Out of Darkness, Comes the Light written by Rufus Jimerson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-27 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to uncover the roots of Christianity from Africa and its Near East peninsula (today's Middle East) to being the state religion of the Roman Empire and West. Aryan conquerors redefined borders between tribes and continents in their own language to "divide and conquer" their holdings indefinitely for further exploitation. Inbreed Black Moors participated in this Western Hegemony through the rise of the Roman Empire to the demise of Europe's monarchy. These royals and descendants who took up Christianity to hold their hegemony over Aryan subjects are identified. Following the Renaissance and the rise of Populism the evidence highlighted describe that Christianity, God the Father, the Messiah, the Apostles, Early Church Leaders, and Saints were transformed from being Black Africans that mirrored today's Africans in Diaspora and Sub-Sahara. The reason for this transformation to the image of Aryan conquerors, including Arabs, is discussed. The impact and repercussions of the Aryanization of Black African civilization, cultures, and religions, including the truth about their role in Christianity is examined. A cycle of hegemony and the arc of moral justice from being dominant in ancient times to the present state of intergenerational "amnesia" is knowledge as the motive for inquiry and displays of primary evidence overlooked because of the maintenance of white supremacy. The latter hold that Africa created nothing and civilization, including modern religion, is given to the world by Aryans or Nordic people that are majorities in Europe and North America. The search for the truth in plain sight begins in the interior of Northeast Africa in Ancient Punt, today's Somali. From these roots, Christianity developed by these people and those of the West Nile, Dogon people in Kemet (today's Egypt), which refers to the Land of the Blacks. They built and spread their civilization westward into Asia, north into the heart of Europe and westward to the western coast of Africa to spawn the Medieval Empires of Mali, Ghana, Songhai, Benin, among others. The civilization was built on commerce and exchange of ideas and cultures derived from economies based on irrigation along the fertile banks of rivers. Exchanges and conquests traverse continents and spawned the development of civilization and the growth of monotheism, particularly Christianity, that would further modernity.

Download or read book Divine Fertility written by Sada Mire and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uniquely explores the impact of indigenous ideology and thought on everyday life in Northeast Africa. Furthermore, in highlighting the diversity in pre-Christian, pre-Islamic regional beliefs and practices that extend beyond the simplistic political arguments of the current dominant narratives, the study shows that for millennia complex indigenous institutions have bound people together beyond the labels of Christianity and Islam; they have sustained peace through cultural exchange and tolerance (if not always complete acceptance). Through recent archaeological and ethnographic research, the concepts, landscapes, materials and rituals believed to be associated with the indigenous and shared culture of the Sky-God belief are examined. The author makes sense, for the first time, of the relationship between the notion of sacred fertility and a number of regional archaeological features and on-going ancient practices including FGM, spirit possessions, and other physically invasive practices and the ritual hunt. The book explores one of the most important pilgrimage centres in Somaliland and Somalia, the sacred landscape of Saint Aw-Barkhadle, founded ca. 12th century AD. It is believed to be the burial place of the rulers of the first Muslim Ifat and Awdal dynasties in this region, and potentially the lost first capital of Awdal kingdom before Harar. This ritual centre is seen as a ‘microcosm’ of the ancient Horn of Africa with its exceptional multi-religious heritage, through which the author lays out a locally appropriate archaeological interpretational framework, the "Ritual Set," also applied here to the Ethiopian sites of Tiya, Sheikh Hussein Bale, Aksum and Lalibela, setting these places against a wider historical background of indigenous Sky-God belief. This archaeological study of sacred landscapes, stelae traditions, ancient Christian and medieval Muslim centres of Northeast Africa is the first to put forward a theoretical and analytical framework for the interpretation of the shared regional heritage and the indigenous archaeology of the region. It will be invaluable to archaeologists, anthropologists, historians and policymakers interested in Africa and beyond.
