Synopsis

The case for inculturating the gospel rests on convincing grounds. Can African Christians, for example, claim to own a faith that has been largely defined in the context of a cultural history that is Euro-centric? There is need to anchor Christianity in traditional African culture. Studies that demonstrate how inculturation has been applied effectively, for instance, in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church (EOTC) are thus needed. The goal of this publication, therefore, is to generate empirical data on Eucharistic inculturation in the EOTC in Nairobi. In turn, this knowledge will provide lessons for inculturation in the rest of Africa and beyond. It is a necessary book for college students, Universities and Seminaries.
