or, Christianity among the Yoruba.

contrary to what some folks are propounding, there is no Yoruba without Christianity. If you are looking within the context of the slave trade, then yes, you stick to various idols and traditional deities which oversee such matters and have followers to do the same.

There is no specific date for knowing exactly when Yorubas first encountered Christianity. Bible sources reveal there were black Africans in Jerusalem during Jesus time, however, we do not know where in Africa they originated from.

Modern Christianity post the industrial revolution, was introduced to Yorubaland sometime in the 18th or 19th century.

Prior to that, Yorubas may have encountered Christianity in the 15th or 16th centuries or maybe even before then. In Africa, religions which are introduced to a people, usually get absorbed into the existing traditional set up sometimes to an extent where they are no longer recognizable in their original form. This applies not only to Christian eschatology but also to foreign non-Christian ones.
