Why read it?
1 author picked Medieval Kingdoms of Nubia as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Finding accessible books on ancient Nubian Christianity is very difficult. There are very few books that are entirely dedicated to the ancient Nubian Church, and the few that exist are usually very specific in terms of subject matter.
Welsby’s book is one of the few that does a great job of giving a comprehensive history of Christianity in the various kingdoms of the Nubian region. I especially love the images in this book which are numerous and very engaging.
From Vince's list on Christianity in Africa before colonialism.
