- Abstract
- The history of Christianity in Africa has about two millennia. Its distribution began in the II century AD in Egypt and Ethiopia. The main event of the early expansion of Christianity was formation in the IV century AD the so called Monophysite Church, which united Christians of Egypt and Ethiopia. The next stage is associated with the beginning of the Christianization in the XV century as a result of colonial expansion of the Catholic Portuguese. But only from the middle of XIX century, when European countries began colonization of vast African territories, one could speak of the mass conversion of the local population into Christianity.
