Sudan the Christian Design

A Study of the Missionary Factor in Sudan’s cultural and Political Integration: 1843-1986. This study comprises six chapters. The first and second deal with the entry of Christianity into Africa in four historical phases. The first being the diffusion of Christianity after the raising of Jesus by his Lord unto Himself. The Coptic Orthodox Church was born and flourished in Egypt, followed by the Christian diffusion in North Africa, Ethiopia and the Nuba Christian Kingdoms. The second phase was ushered in by the Crusade Campaign that struggled in vain to impose European Christianity on Egypt and North Africa. The Crusade was in essence a trial-run of expansionism and cultural domination of the Muslim world, and not simply aimed at capturing al-Quds, ‘Jerusalem’. The third phase coincided with the era of geographical ‘discoveries’ and Portuguese expansionism on the eastern and south-eastern coast of Africa. The fourth phase, the contemporary one, started in the era of the Africa-Scramble and still casts its shadow on present-day Africa. The Church carne either under the protection of the occupying armies or before them in order to pave the way by taming the indigenous population and planting the love of Western superiority in their hearts.
