More Light on Theological Education in Africa

Abstract

"Theological education is widely considered to be among the most strategic factors affecting the future vitality and direction of Africa's rapidly expanding Christian community. Nevertheless theological education in Africa remains among the least documented aspects ofvAfrican Christianity. In an earlier survey I highlighted a recentvadvance in profiling the outer structures of theological education onvthe continent. Here I would like to draw attention to a little knownvbut useful contribution recently made in assessing some of the "inner"vstructures of theological education in Africa."
