Vol 1, No 1 (2024): African Christian Theology

Issue Description

This is the inaugural issue of African Christian Theology — vol. 1, no. 1 (March 2024).  The theme of this issue is “African Christian Theology:  Retrospect and Prospect.”  As we look ahead to where we are going, it is fitting to look back to see where we have come from. This theme is deliberately coordinated with the theme of ACTEA’s General Assembly in September 2023, “African Theological Education: Retrospect and Prospect.”

As Christianity continues to rise here in Africa, it is fitting that this issue is published on Resurrection Day, Easter 2024 (31 March 2024).
