Beginning in the first century, Christianity found its roots in North Africa, with the bustling city of Alexandria serving as a key theological center. By the third century, the profound insights of St. Augustine of Hippo reshaped Christian thought. In the fifteenth century, Portuguese explorers introduced Catholicism to West Africa, marking a new chapter of religious growth.
