Achebe brings to light the real impact of the arrival of Christianity in his novels. It was merely politics rather than civilizing and giving the Gospel to the people. In Things Fall Apart Achebe makes it very much obvious to us that the white man arrived in their land not only to deliver the people from their sins but also to bring his government along with him. After the entry of Christianity, many customs and beliefs followed by the Igbo people were altered. People did not accept the religion just because the missionaries told about the Trinity or about the supreme God. In fact, they witnessed proof of their well being even after residing in the evil forest and also accepting the outcast into their church.
