African Christian Theology
£15.99
God is eternal, but the questions we ask about him are always rooted in our own culture. Thus our understanding of theology is also rooted in our culture. Dr Samuel Kunhiyop is deeply aware of this, and so has produced African Christian Theology as a companion book to his African Christian Ethics. In this book, Dr Kunhiyop addresses many of the same issues mentioned in Western systematic theologies, but also addresses issues that are not mentioned in those books, including the spirit world, ancestors, and the power of blessings and curses. This book thus constitutes an excellent introduction to systematic theology in relation to the traditional African world view and to the Bible.
Endorsements
In African Christian Theology, Dr Kunhiyop makes a significant contribution by allowing the Christian scripture to speak African traditional beliefs. African religious beliefs are taken seriously and are subjected to the scrutiny of the infallible and inherent word of God, the Holy Bible, with a view to informing the faith and conduct of African Christians.
