History of Christianity in Africa HTE537E
Instructor: James R. Krabill, PhD
This course will examine the history, mission dynamics, and changing demographics of the African church. Beginning with biblical reflections, the study will highlight the expansion of the African Christian movement, the impact of the Western colonial encounter, contextualized forms of the faith, and issues facing the church today. Students can choose to examine particular issues such as interfaith conversations, the African-initiated churches, women’s roles, worship trends, or the holistic witness of the church.
