Africa in Salvific History

Pope John Paul's visit to Egypt in the year 2000 underscores this book, 'Africa in Salvific History' by Rev. Dr. Okafor Uzoigwe. In his homily the Holy Father reminded the world that in (cf. Ex. 20:2) it is written that, "Out of Egypt have I called my Son." This book accentuates the importance of the presence of Jesus in a gentile world, Egypt. God chose the gentiles just as he chose his people the 'Jews'. The Holy Father came with an olive branch to the Moslem world and love to the Christians of Egypt. This book is a fascinating read for Christians and non-Christians.
