Book Description
La theologie africaine est nee dans un contexte marque par la recherche de l'indentite de l'homme noir. En effet, la politique coloniale et la periode missionnaire n'ont pas pris suffisamment en compte l'importance de la culture africaine. Contraints d'adopter l'interpretation du message evangelique sans aucun recours a leur propre tradition et vision du monde, les Noirs ont ete forces d'entrer dans la facon de vivre, d'agir et de penser des Occidentaux. Le mouvement de la Negritude et les ecrivains noirs furent les premiers a critiquer cet etat de choses. Les theologiens africains leur emboiterent le pas en elargissant la problematique au domaine de la foi chretienne. La theologie africaine qui, dans les annees postconciliaires, a fait beaucoup parler d'elle, ne semble plus faire preuve de la meme vitalite ces dernieres annees. Ce silence apparent peut s'expliquer par la situation difficile que traverse le continent noir, oublie par la communaute internationale. L'Afrique n'est connue que pour ses miseres: la recession economique, le sida, les guerres ... La situation dans laquelle vivent les theologiens ne leur permet pas de se consacrer adequatement a la rechercher, a l'instar de leurs collegues des pays occidentaux. Pourtant, malgre ce que pensent plus d'un, la theologie africaine n'est pas morte, elle est bien vivante!

God, Spirit, and Human Wholeness
Author: Elochukwu Eugene Uzukwu
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1621891666
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
The Holy Spirit provides access to relationship with and reflection on the Triune God. In West Africa, Christians approach the Triune God in a way that challenges the Jewish-Christian memory. Deeply rooted in their ancestral memory, where living is relationality, they embrace the Trinitarian faith, the economy of the relational God-Christ-Spirit, by expanding and reinventing their indigenous experience of God, deities, spirits, and ancestors. Christian faith-practice is marked by the spectacular dominance of the Holy Spirit, whose charisms reflect the operations of deities. African Initiated Churches (AICs), Protestant and Catholic charismatic movements, experience God-Spirit's liberating and healing hand for the enhancement and realization of communal and individual destiny (what one expects from a concerned providential deity). This book argues that the emergent West African Trinitarian imagination is in harmony with Hebrew insight into the One and Only Yahweh of the patriarchs that assumed the dimensions of Elohim, God--experienced as a sound of sheer silence by Elijah, and proposed in utter weakness as the Only God by Deutero-Isaiah--the God that Jesus called Abba, Father. As Spirit and Life, the Holy Spirit, which is the source of all charisms (Origen), is our link to the Trinity.

Reinventing Theology in Post-Genocide Rwanda
Author: Marcel Uwineza, SJ
Publisher: Georgetown University Press
ISBN: 1647123461
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 443
Book Description
The first comprehensive examination of the Catholic Church’s role in the genocide against the Tutsi and its attempts at reconciliation From April to July 1994, more than a million people were killed during the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. Tutsi men, women, and children were slaughtered by Hutu extremists in churches and school buildings, and their lifeless bodies were left rotting in these sacred places under the deep silence of church authorities. Pope Francis’s apology more than twenty years later presents the opportunity to reimagine the essence of the Church, the missionary enterprise, theology in its multiple dimensions, the purification of memory, and the place of human dignity in the Catholic faith. Reinventing Theology in Post-Genocide Rwanda critically examines the Church’s responsibility in Rwanda’s tragic history and opens the dialogue to construct a new theology. Contributors to this volume offer moving personal testimonies of their journeys to reconciling the evil that has marred the Church’s image: bystanders’ indifference to the suffering, despite their claim as members of the Church. The first volume of its kind, Reinventing Theology in Post-Genocide Rwanda is a necessary step toward the Rwandan Catholic Church and humanity’s restoration of fundamental peace and lasting reconciliation. Catholic clergy, lay people, and human rights advocates will benefit from this examination of ecclesial moral failure and subsequent reconciliatory efforts.
