Title: Towards an African Theology of Christian Education
Abstract: The gap between Christian profession and Christian practice among many African Christians is most probably because Christian education lags much behind Christian theology in Africa. Much work has been done by African Christian theologians to describe an African Christian theology, but relatively little work has been done on Christian education in Africa. There is therefore little theoretical framework for Christian teaching in Africa. As a result, much of the theological formulations in Africa are not being effectively communicated to African Christians. This paper is a bid to make a connection between African Christian theology and Christian education in Africa, to enhance effective communication of the Christian faith. Principles of effective teaching are described in terms agreeable to the abundant literature on African Christian theology. At the end a proposal is made for a possible formulation of an African theology of Christian education.
