This is the sixth installment of the For The People Nile Valley Conference series with Dr. Charles S Finch. Dr. Finch was an assistant professor at the Morehouse School of medicine in Atlanta, GA.
In this episode, Dr. Charles S. Finch begins his conversation with Listervelt Middleton about the Egyptian origin of Christianity. Dr. Finch explains the thesis of his writing prompted by Middleton. He mentions that the common conception of the beginning of Christianity started around 2000 years ago within Jewish culture.
His thesis posits a Kamitic route, where Kamitic denotes "Black or Blackness," encompassing both the complexion of its people and the geographical landscape. This perspective not only broadens our understanding of Christianity's origins but also invites a deeper exploration of its diverse cultural influences and historical trajectories.
Follow along for the next episode of the Nile Valley Conference Series of For The People.
