Editorial Reviews

"African-Christian theologians have popularized terms like 'indigenization,' 'adaptation,' and 'contextualization' as models for developing Christian theology that takes the African worldview seriously. Dr. Oladipo has not only blazed a new methodological trail christened 'cross-fertilization' but has also made a bold attempt to use Yoruba 'ancestology' as a model for the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. This scholarly work is a welcomed addition to the growing corpus of African Christian theology. As a pioneering work, the questions raised will generate lively debates, which will eventuate in a fresh way of theologizing among African Christian theologians." Professor Osadolor Imasogie, President Emeritus, Nigerian Baptist Theological Seminary
The publisher, Peter Lang Publishing
Africa will have more than 325 million Christians by the year 2000, making it the most populous Christian continent in the world. In this book, Dr. Oladipo addresses questions about Christian dogma as believers continue to enlarge the boundaries of Christian proclamation. He points out that conversion in Africa is the result of African ability to enliven cherished Christian doctrines in their indigenous definition of the Christian faith. The book touches a raw nerve by illustrating that religious awareness is the indivisible entity unified by particular human efforts to grasp the totality of existence. The Development of the Doctrine of the Holy Spirit in the Yoruba (African) Indigenous Christian Movement is unique and different, written in a spirit of mutual enrichment and transformation.
