bobjots : redux

I am currently doing a course from the Lutheran Bible Training Institute on Church History and interestingly a lot of the more colourful and influential characters that we have covered to date (the first 3 centuries of the Common Era) hail from Africa - Thascius Caecilius Cyprianus (aka Cyprian from Carthage), Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus (aka Tertullian, another Carthaginian and is credited to be the father of Latin theology), and Origen Adamantius (aka Origen from Alexandria and is credited to be the father of Greek theology).

So I reckon you can imagine how I'd react when I came across the website for The Center for Early African Christianity (HT: Cyberbrethren). The contents are still pretty sparse but it looks quite promising and I suppose it might be structured along the content architecture of Thomas C. Oden's How Africa Shaped the Christian Mind, which looks like something that's definitely going into my wishlist.

The closest equivalent we have for the study on Asian Christianity is Trinity Theological College's Centre for the Study of Christianity in Asia. I have used some of the archived materials there when editing some Wikipedia articles but they definitely ought to revisit their site architecture and GUI.
