Challenges of Christian Marriage in African Culture
Author: Sylvester Oyeka
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1504946952
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
The book Challenges of Christian Marriage in Africa Culture is a reflection of Fr. Sylvester on the challenges encountered by Christian marriage in a communitarian African culture of kinship. While Christian marriage is a free decision of the couple involved, African marriage is a communitarian task, and thus, the decision of the community must take precedence. The contrast between Christian marriage and African marriage becomes a challenge to the Christian ideology of marriage. However, this book aims at a reconciliation between these marriages, where the moral values found in either marriage could be adopted for a sustainable marriage.
