A bird's eye view of A.E.A. the Association of evangelicals in Africa

Abstract

"Dr. Alister McGrath, Research Lecturer of Oxford University, considers evangelicalism as the light of the 2151 century: "Head and heart are being brought together in a movement that is looking forward to the future with a sense of expectancy and anticipation." Yet there is an appalling ignorance about evangelicalism in academic circles and a lack of objectivity marked by stereotypes. On the continent of Africa, The Association of Evangelica/s in Africa (AEA) is the main ecclesiastical umbrella for African evangelical churches. This continental organisation has branches in most sub Saharan countries and is a major movement in Africa today. Any scholarly research which can provide greater understanding of evangelicals in Africa is most welcome."
