UNIQUENESS & UNIVERSALITY OF JESUS CHRIST: INCULTURATION CHRISTOLOGIES OF AFRICA

This year's lectures will be given by Prof. Joseph D. Galgalo.  They will be on Monday 17, Tuesday 18 and Thursday 20 February in the Runcie Rm, Divinity Faculty, West Rd, Cambridge.

Methods in African Christologies are typically reactionary in their attempt to break away from the dominant American and Euro-centric theological and philosophical methods. A commonplace assumption shared by most African theologians holds that Christ as seen through Western hermeneutical spectacles is a stranger to Africa.

Prof. Galgalo proposes a corrective measure through a three-part lecture series as follows:

Mon 17 Feb, 5.30pm - Lecture One: Jesus the African: Methods in African Christologies

Tues 18 Feb, 5.30pm - Lecture Two: Jesus the Counter-Cultural Man: African Women Christologies

Thurs 20 Feb, 5.30pm - Lecture Three: Uniqueness and Universality of Jesus Christ: A Challenge to Inculturation Christologies of Africa

Prof. Galgalo is Vice Chancellor, St. Paul’s University, Limuru, Kenya where he is also an Associate Professor in Systematic Theology, Dean of the Faculty of Theology. He is an ordained minister of the Anglican Church of Kenya.

He is the author of the book African Christianity: the Stranger Within (2012), and contributed to the Festschrift for Prof. David Ford, The Vocation of Theology Today (2013). He has served on the Unity, Faith and Order commission of the Anglican Communion.

ALL WELCOME
