In this course, Christology and Soteriology, where Jesus takes the central place, are covered from a distinctly African perspective.

For Christology, African hermeneutics and rich cultural perspectives are used to shed light on Christ’s contextual relevance for Africa and the world.

With regard to Soteriology, salvation is examined from historical, philosophical, and theological lenses. Topics as wide-ranging as conversion, ethnicity, fertility, poverty, prosperity, the Trinity, exclusivism, African Pentecostalism, rural community, eschatology, wholeness, and atonement are discussed. Students will explore the holistic nature of salvation as articulated in Scripture and understood by the African church.
