the Arab Conquest," Father Paul Desese Jesuit explores the rapid decline of Christianity in that region. The study examines Landmarks in Ancient History, identifying Reasons for the Decline of Christianity in Africa, including the Remote Influence of Carthage, Rome's Economic Policy in Africa, Fear of Southern Invaders, the Fragility of Christianity in Africa, the Organization of the African Church, the Collapse of the Church in Africa during the Seventh Century, the Isolation of Christianity in Africa, and the Absence of a National Church. These combined factors led to the cultural isolation and eventual disappearance of Christian communities.
