Product Description
Talks & Lectures on African Church History
Dr. Bantu’s most-requested talks draw on his deep expertise in African Church History — covering the ancient Christian traditions of Nubia, Ethiopia, Egypt, and North Africa, and making the case that the faith’s roots in Africa are far older and richer than most people have been taught. He has delivered this material at Oxford University, Princeton, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Dumbarton Oaks, and numerous HBCUs and universities across the United States. Whether speaking to an academic audience or a community gathering, Dr. Bantu brings depth and pastoral warmth to every room.
Urban Ministry Workshops
Beyond formal lectures, Dr. Bantu is available for urban ministry workshops and community engagements focused on cultural identity, faith, and the history of the Church among historically marginalized communities. He has led Urban Apologetics workshops and evangelism-focused programming for faith communities across the country, drawing on his affiliation with Wheaton College’s Global Urban Perspectives program and his founding of the Meachum School of Haymanot — a school dedicated to accessible, community-rooted ministry education.
Podcast Appearances & Interviews
Dr. Bantu is also available for podcast appearances and recorded interviews. He has appeared on the Jude 3 Project, Theology in the Raw, The Biblical Mind, Where Ya From, and the Calvin Symposium on Worship, among others, and contributed to the History Channel documentary series Holy Marvels in 2024. His ability to translate complex material in African Church History and global Christian identity into interesting, accessible conversation makes him a strong fit for faith-based podcasts, interview series, and media projects.
