On this episode of The Shaun Tabatt Show, we're diving deep into the history of early Christianity in Africa with author Mike Aquilina. His new book, Africa and the Early Church: The Almost-Forgotten Roots of Catholic Christianity uncovers a lost history that played a profound role in shaping the development of the faith.

From Ethiopia and Sudan to Egypt, Libya, and beyond, African Christians made decisive contributions in theology, liturgy, biblical studies, and culture. And yet, much of this history was lost to Europe in the wake of Arab invasions in the seventh and eighth centuries. That's where Aquilina's book comes in, telling the story of these forgotten roots through the words of the great figures of antiquity.

Join us as we explore the richness and depth of early Christian thought and practice in Africa, and discover why it's so important to acknowledge and remember these almost-forgotten roots of Catholic Christianity. Whether you're a scholar, a history buff, or simply interested in learning more about the foundations of our faith, this is an episode you won't want to miss. So press play and join us for a fascinating conversation with author Mike Aquilina.
