Ethiopian history is distinctive in a number of ways and has some stories that frequently overlap. In the fourth century AD, it was one of the first states to formally recognize Christianity as a religion. Except for a brief five-year occupation by the Italian fascist dictatorship in the 1930s, it was the only one of the native states on the Continent that was never colonized by European countries. Some claim that the nation's resiliency might be partly or entirely due to the nation's strongly ingrained national Church.
If Ethiopia was never colonized, how did Christianity then expand to Ethiopia.
To know more about the Ethiopian root of Christianity, the Ethiopian Eunuch who is also recognized by the Bible as the first Gentile convert, the two slaves brothers who brought Christianity to the Axum kingdom, how Ethiopia was fully christianalized, the Sabbatarian debate and much more.

This wonderfully written and thoroughly researched book belongs on the bookshelves of anyone who is curious about the development of Christianity in Ethiopia and throughout Africa.
