The propagation of the Christian faith has always connoted the consoli- dation of imperial power. The Roman Emperor Justinian encouraged the Christianization of all African chiefs who sought his good will. He even bestowed investitures with robes and honorific titles for chiefs who embraced the Church. Religious propaganda was an essential aspect of imperial expansion, and the colonial powers had long grasped the impor- tant truth that it was cheaper in the long run to use the Bible than military power to secure distant dominions.
