African Christian Theology

Book Overview

This book contributes to the growing literature on African Christian theology, with a significant emphasis on the East African perspective. It presents the author's researched theological findings on a wide range of topics, and invites the reader to reflect on the issues it raises, within the context of contemporary Africa and with the Bible as a basic source of reference. The book will be useful for pastors, teachers and tutors of Religious Education, and also for students and trainees in theology at all levels. Internationally, it adds a new dimension to Christian theology in African scholarship.
