Questions of identity

Questions of identity continue to intrigue theologians in Africa, and African intellectuals often note communal emphases in African thought.

Engagement with ecclesiologies and Christian identity

This raises the question, How do ecclesiologies in Africa engage with identity concerns, and how do they envision the Christian identity?

Stephanie Lowery's contribution

Stephanie Lowery argues in this book that theologians in Africa provide theological and biblical arguments regarding Christian identity that are relevant to individual Christians and ecclesiologies in all contexts.

She also proposes the social identity approach as a tool that can both further articulate and advance these discussions.
