| Zusammenfassung: | This book endeavours to portray the Christian church in Africa as a growing force that needs to be harnessed to maturity. The paradoxical situation in which Christian culture finds itself in Africa is the result of uncritical assimilation of Western culture in the name of Christianity. In this book the author is convinced that the gospel has enriched human values in Africa to such an extent that even the tidal wave of Western culture has not undermined the human underpinnings of the traditional values. Since the church in Africa must take evangelism seriously, it must communicate the gospel in methaphors that can be understood and appreciated by Africans. (DÜI-Hff) |
