The Coptic Church and Nubia

Check out an interesting interview with a scholar on Nubian Christianity, one of the least known Christian traditions of African antiquity. Salim Faraji is interviewed by a Coptic host on the subject of relations between the Coptic Church and Nubia, how a Nubian king initiated Christian conversions in Nubia, and other aspects of Nubia's history. As the host says, an understanding of the intertwined, interdependent histories of the Coptic, Nubian, and Ethiopian Orthodox traditions is necessary for comprehending the Copts in their proper African context. Check out this interview, too, on the study of Egyptian and Nubian Christianity.
