В книге об африканских христианских церквях рассматривается полная история развития христианства во всех регионах континента. В отличие от обычного для таких исследований интереса, в основном, к миссионерской деятельности, авторы ставят в центре своего исследования местные африканские особенности христианства. Африканские христиане, обычно занимавшие лучшее положение в обществе, давали иное толкование христианским текстам, прозелитизму, управлению местными конгрегациями и организации независимых церквей. Подчеркивая инициативы африканцев в процессе христианизации, авторы доказывают, что развитие церкви было сформировано африканскими королями и их придворными, историей трудовой миграции и колонизации.Бенгт Сандклер был ведущим специалистом по африканской христианской
Церкви, он также задавал тон в изучении независимых Церквей в Африке. У него была долгая карьера миссионера в Южной Африке и в Танзании, где он стал лютеранским епископом Букобы в Танзании, перед возвращением в
Швецию в качестве профессора истории церкви в Университете Упсалы.
Кристофер Стид был помощником Бенгта Сандклера в данном исследовании, и в настоящее время он преподает африканскую историю в Университете Упсалы.Образцы сканов:

40 nubia 33 Faras Great care was given to the building of churches, from the smaller buildings of unbaked brick in the centre of villages to cathedrals in stone or baked brick, with the cathedral in the capital of Faras as the most prominent. It was built in the seventh century and renewed in 707, the latter a reconstruction under the leadership of Bishop Paulos. This allowed for an artistic activity of surprising wealth, with large mural paintings of biblical and ecclesiastical personalities becoming the inspiration to other ecclesiastical buildings.
The `era of the martyrs', inaugurating Coptic Church history, begins with the accession of the dreaded Diocletian as Emperor, AD 284, and the Coptic calendar even today begins not with the Birth of Christ but with AD 284. The actual Diocletian persecution took place in the years 299±304. But in Egypt it lingered on and reached a climax in AD 311±12 under Maximinus. The bishop of Alexandria himself was executed; venerated as Peter Martyr he was the ®rst Egyptian saint, also remembered in the Roman canon of the mass.
The present city of Cairo was founded in 969 and eventually the Patriarch moved to the new metropolis. The Copts and the Crusades Increasingly the Copts were made to feel that they were now a religious minority in a Muslim world. The relationship between Coptic Church and Muslim State depended on variations in Arab regimes, with changes in the caliphates, and on certain local crises. The rulers of the Fatimid caliphate, AD 968±1171, were on the whole tolerant towards both Christians and Jews. Capable Copts were to be seen in high places in the administration, mainly in ®nance and in the banks.
