The question of Africa’s religiosity along with the entry of secularization in African public sphere continues to generate heated debates among researchers in various disciplines. Rarely however is this question explored specifically in relation to the discipleship models adopted by the African church. In a recently published book coedited by Benno van den Toren, Joseph Bosco Bangura and Richard E. Seed, Is Africa Incurably Religious? Secularization and Discipleship in Africa, this question is explored.
Together with OCMS/Regnum, the editors and contributors held a webinar on Tuesday 27th April 2021 about the book so that the notion of Africa’s incurable religiosity is further problematicized. The video is now available and can be viewed here:
