Christian Theology in an African Context - Paperback

by Timothy Palmer (Author)

This is a book about Christian doctrine or theology. It treats the main themes of Christian doctrine starting from the doctrine of God and proceeding to the doctrine of the last things or eschatology. It is the conviction of this author that the primary source of theology is Scripture (the Bible). But theology is done in a context. In this case, the context is Africa. Theology should be done with an awareness of our African context - both the traditional and the modern. But our primary source of theology is Scripture itself. In the end, this is a book of Christian doctrine. Who is God? Who is Jesus Christ? What is salvation? What is the church? What does the Bible say about the future?
