Chapter 15 

Why did Christianity take hold in some places more than in others?

Christianity was not only spread by priests or prophets, but it was also spread by practicing African slaves, merchants, and roaming philosophers. Christianity had spread to much of Africa during the crusade and resurged when the European nations began to colonize. The added bonus of having African slaves with the same belief was a benefit. Easier incorporation and another layer of control (from the church) was added to secure civilizations, societies, and the birth of new versions of the old world.
