Theology Brewed In An African Pot

Offers an intriguing introduction to Christian doctrine from an African perspective.

Using a framework of excerpts from Chinua Achebe’s seminal novel, Things Fall Apart, the author introduces the major themes of Christian doctrine: God, Trinity, creation, grace and sin, Jesus Christ, church, Mary, the saints, inculturation, and spirituality. While explaining basic Christian beliefs, Theology Brewed in an African Pot also clarifies the differences between an African view of religion and a more Eurocentric understanding of religion.

Accessible and engaging to students and specialists alike, each of the eleven short chapters ends with three discussion questions followed by one or two African prayers.
