THE QUEST FOR AN AFRICAN CHRIST: AN ESSAY ON CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN CHRISTOLOGY.

Abstract

This Christological quest has not been absent in the perspective of the still nascent African theology and Christianity. Inarguably, the name of Jesus, although relatively new in Africa, has gained 'popularity' on the lips of many African Christians. But it is equally true that millions of African Christians continue to grope for an appropriate Christological identity which can effectively lend support to their profession of faith, which faith is confronted with the challenges of African traditions, cultures and customs.
