About

African Theology Synopsis

This reference provides a thorough survey of the theology of and from Africa. The first part of the work presents a historical overview of African theology, while the second part includes citations for more than 600 books and articles. The citations are grouped in topical chapters, and each entry is accompanied by a descriptive and evaluative annotation. The entries focus on works published from 1955 to 1992, and cover sources that exemplify the importance of social and cultural analyses and the various types of African theology. Most of the sources have been published in Africa, the United States, or Great Britain. While most are in English, many are in French. Young begins with a narrative discussion of the history of African theology. This section includes chapters on the Christianization of African traditional religion, the Africanization of Christianity, and the impact of Black theology in South Africa. The annotated bibliography follows. The bibliography is divided into four chapters, which contain entries on historical and social analysis, traditional religion in Africa, African theology during different periods, and Black South African theology. The volume concludes with indexes of names, titles, and subjects.
