African Theology and Church Life

Course
RT2316
Master’s level
7.5 credits (ECTS)

About

Global Christianity no longer has its centre in the so-called western
world, but rather in the global south.  How does this affect church life
and theology? 

This course considers how Christianity developed in
Africa, the role of mission, African church life, the interplay between
religion and politics, and African perspectives on the shape of
Christian theology. The situation in South Africa will receive special
attention.
