Abstract
"Behind this first ever published Handbook of Theological Education in Africa is a three year process of intense conceptualization, strategic network-building and editorial work. First, following the World Council of Churches (WCC) initiative for publishing the Handbook of Theological Education in World Christianity and suggestions from several African partners, a group related to the process for revitalizing associations of theological institutions in Africa which was linked to the AACC Theology department (Dr. Simon Dossou, AACC, Prof. James Amanze, University of Botswana, Prof. Isabel Apawo Phiri, University of KwaZulu-Natal and Dr. Dietrich Werner, WCC) met in Gaborone, Botswana between 12-14 August 2010. They developed the first plan for the publication of a major Handbook of Theological Education in Africa. From the beginning, it was envisaged that this book would provide a major contribution to, and would be made available for, the All Africa Conference of Churches Jubilee Assembly in June 2013 in Kampala, Uganda, as well as for the WCC assembly taking place in Busan, South Korea, in 2013."
