AFRICA SHAPED CHRISTIAN MIND

I am very pleased to say that I have finished reading today HOW AFRICA SHAPED THE CHRISTIAN MIND: REDISCOVERING THE AFRICAN SEEDBED OF WESTERN CHRISTIANITY by Thomas C. Oden (2007), a book referred to me by Lloyd Monroe, an imminent learned lawyer, scholar, professor, friend. I am especially pleased that I stuck it out long enough to read Oden's "Appendix " and later his "Literary Chronology of Christianity in Africa in the First Millennium." These desserts crowned Oden's feast with zest, substance, titillation! It reminded me of the "Science of History," at the back of Tolstoy 's epic, WAR AND PEACE, which also more than justified my indulgence!
