The Significance of the Eucharistic Theology in Africa Today

Understanding the Eucharist against the Background of Contemporary African Theology: Eucharistic Sacrifice vis-à-vis African Concept of Sacrifice

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What type of theology does Africa need today? Is it
Inculturation or Liberation theology?
Inculturation and Liberation theology should been
seen as two sides of the same coin. They are
complementary and are not opposed to each other. The
combination of the strengths of both theologies
(Contemporary African Theology) could help Africans
live out Christianity authentically within their
cultural milieu and integrate Christianity into their
religious personality and heritage.
To what extent can the Eucharist be considered as
sacrifice and meal? What are the similarities between
the Eucharist and the African concept of sacrifice
and communal meal. What can they learn from each
other?
We shall attempt to use African Contemporary
Theology as a basis of dialogue between the
Eucharistic Theology and the African concept of
sacrifice and meal.
