Title:Christianity's lost continent

Year:1959
Periodical:Corona
Volume:11
Pages:217-218
Language:English
Geographic term:West Africa
Subject:Islam
Abstract:All along the West Coast of Africa Islam progress ten times more rapidly than Christianity. Islam gains because it appears to be a genuinely Africa religion, without race-consciousness, secure in the bonds of brotherhood which link Muslims solidly together. Islam is now an alternative religion to Christianity in Africa, and its success in the great cities of West Africa, its appeal to the secularized intellectual as well as the bush African, and its identification with African Social life (which the monogamous Christianity has never managed) are signs of its mighty forward movement.
