About the book

The history of Late Antique Africa and the origins of Nubian Christianity have received little attention by Africanists and have been virtually ignored by Africana historians. This title answers the questions how and why did ancient Nubia convert to Christianity during the 4th - 6th century CE? The book demonstrates that Nubia did not convert to Christianity in the sixth century CE due to Byzantine Missions, but that a little known monarch, the Nubian king Silko who ruled in the 5th century inaugurated the beginnings of Christianity in ancient Nubia.
