| Summary: | Higher theological or religious education in Africa is usually pursued in ecclesiastical seminaries or private accredited and denominationally supported universities. Most public universities, without a historical link with a religious tradition, would ordinarily not engage in typically theological studies due to several challenges: identity crisis and employability after graduation. This article examines the challenges and prospects of higher theological studies in Africa, especially Anglophone West Africa. It focuses on the prospects of theological studies within public universities of Africa with specific reference to Ghana. |
