Overview

For many Africans, Christianity is remembered as a companion of colonization--a foreign religion imposed through conquest, schools, and power. As a result, the God of the Bible is often rejected not because of Scripture itself, but because of historical pain. Yet history tells a more complex story. Long before European empires, Africa already stood within the world of the Bible. Egypt, Cush, and Ethiopia appear naturally in its earliest narratives. African lands were not distant to the biblical imagination--they were present, named, and engaged. This book challenges the assumption that faith arrived in Africa aboard colonial ships. By examining ancient history, biblical texts, and the formation of Scripture itself, it argues the the God of the Bible was not introduced to Africa by colonizers, but encountered there long before them. Written calmly and without polemic, God Did not Arrive With the Colonizers invites readers to separate faith from empire, Scripture from abuse, and history from inherited suspicion. This is not a defense of colonization. It is a correction of a myth.
