African Theology

The course will survey a wide range of themes in religious and theological language and models from contemporary African thought. The themes will be explored from their socio-historical context but also against the wider context of orthodox Christian theology. This dialectic will enable us to examine the variety of positions and views that have developed and shaped the discourse of African theology. We will also examine briefly some implications of African theology on contemporary forms of African missiology and ecclesiology. Format of lectures and discussions; and evaluation by class participation and two papers.
