The Contextualization of Christian Religious Studies in Africa

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines various Africentric methodologies that suggest how to contextualize Christian Religious Studies in Africa. Furthermore, it investigates the suggestive impacts of Africa and early Africans on Judaism, the bedrock of Christianity. The examination advocates that Christianity is not a foreign religion to Africa, and Africans were not latecomers to Christianity. The author assesses the roles of Africans, especially the early indigenous African Church fathers, in the following areas: Biblical studies, Christian Theology, Church doctrines, and the global spread of Christianity. The author's goal in contextualizing and decolonizing Christian Religious Studies from Western culture and educational methodologies is to make the subject matter a panacea for the holistic needs of Africans. Lastly, the author suggests that early Africans played more vital roles than early Western missionaries and people of other races in matters concerning Christianity and its studies since its inception.
