Beskrivning

In African Theology, Philosophy, and Religions: Celebrating John Samuel Mbiti’s Contribution, contributorsexplore John Samuel Mbiti’s contributions to African scholarship and demonstrate how he broke through the western glass ceiling of scholarship and made African-informed and African-shaped scholarship a reality. Contributors examine the far-reaching implications of Mbiti’s scholarship, arguing that he shifted the contemporary African Christian landscape and informed global expressions of Christianity. African Theology, Philosophy, and Religions analyzes Mbiti’s scholarship and shows that his theories are malleable and fluid, allowing a new generation of scholars to reinterpret, reconstruct, and further develop his theories. This collection brings together contributors from a wide range of disciplines to study John Samuel Mbiti as the father of contemporary African theology and grapple with questions Africans face in the twenty-first century.

A commemoration of the life and works of one of Africa’s greatest thinkers! In refreshing and thought-provoking ways, the essays in this volume written by the younger generation of African theologians and African Religions’ scholars, engage, critique and appraise the scholarship of the late Professor John Mbiti and in that way, open a mulango (a door) to the rich legacy on African theology, religions and philosophy bequeathed to us by one of the greatest African scholars that Africa has ever birthed. A must read for scholar, student and all those committed to the study of African Christianity, African Religions and philosophy.
