ATW News: Local Theologies on the World Wide Web – Learning Exercises
Part of the work we do at African Theology Worldwide is to provide the scholarly community with sample teaching and learning materials on a wide variety of themes related to African Christian Theology. In our recently published “Local Theologies on the World Wide Web: Learning Exercises”, we provide learning exercises which are intended to be used alongside our article “Local Theologies on the World Wide Web: Various Uses of the Internet for the Study of Theology in Africa.” We believe that while there are lots of freely available, peer-reviewed and academic journals online, such materials are still outside the research scope of professors, researchers and students of African Theology.
Partner spotlight: Centre for Theology and Christianity Worldwide
The Centre for Theology and Christianity Worldwide (CTCW) was recently launched at the Protestant Theological University, Groningen/Amsterdam, Netherlands. It exists as an academic centre that offer courses, seminars, conferences and webinars that interface the broad themes related to global expressions of theology and Christianity worldwide. To do so, CTCW presently work on the following three thematic areas: (i) Migration, Mission and Theology in Contemporary Europe; (ii) Science and Religion in Intercultural Perspective; and (iii) Pentecostal Theology Worldwide. Potential students who would like to pursue PhD’s in these or related themes are encouraged to contact the centre for guidance in the admission procedures at the university.
ATW News: Bibliography on Sacrifice
Whereas Africa is an incredibly diverse continent with a fine embroidery of cultures and ethnicities, the theme of sacrifice is often one on which Africans tend to find common ground. The major faiths and religious traditions across the African continent have offered deep reflections grounded in their holy books and sacred traditions about the role of sacrifice in their belief systems and practices. For this reason, Christianity’s emphasis on the finality and sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice for human salvation has been used as a means of engaging the peoples of Africa with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
ATW News: New Individual Bibliography Category
In other to diversify our growing collection of bibliographic resources, ATW is happy to announce the addition of a new category of bibliographies to the Collaborative Bibliography of African Theology. We specifically want to highlight the work of influential African theologians and point to their freely available online resources. We have just completed assembling bibliographies concerning the works of Kwame Bediako, Musa Dube and Tite Tiénou. We would like to point our users to the fact that there are quite a lot of free resources included in these bibliographies: for Kwame Bediako, there are 39 items freely available, for Musa Dube, 47 items, and for Tite Tiénou, 27 items.
