| 520 | |a This article seeks to challenge theological educators from the West, and those who use Western languages and resources, in their educational interaction with African and other majority- world students. It advocates for education rooted in indigenous rather than Western ways of understanding. As its primary illustration, the article shows how the categories of "African traditional religions" (ATRs) and "world religions" (WRs) turn out to be Western inventions with an incomplete grasp of reality. The implicit categorization of other "religions" with respect to Western Protestant Christianity have become a major bias of which Western missionaries should be aware when they seek to share Christ outside their own comfort and competence zones. I address these issues from extensive experience in theological education. | ||
