The numerical growth of African Christians however does not manifest itself in academic theology. Kwame Bediako (1945–2008) is a voice from Ghana that claims a space for African contributions in theology. His quest for identity, his analysis of mission, culture and language, and his critique of a ‹Western value setting› raise issues that are relevant beyond his own context. His statement that Africa is a ‹laboratory› for World Christianity challenges theological debates. His Christological approach is the key to critical engagement with church and society. The book analyses Bediako’s work from a postcolonial and intercontextual perspective. His contribution marks an unfinished agenda in African-European encounters. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfrican and World Christianity – Kwame Bediako – African and intercontextual theology – Postcolonial theory – African agency in history – Christology and Hermeneutics – Witness in the Public Sphere – Theological Scholarship – Primal Religion and Spirituality – Culture and language – Enlightenment and The West\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044401152343,"sku":"9783631730508","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631730508.jpg?v=1750961499","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/how-is-jesus-christ-lord-reading-kwame-bediako-from-a-postcolonial-and-intercontextual-perspective-9783631730508","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
