How Africa Shaped the Christian Mind
I just learned about a new book that sounds fascinating for everyone interested in African American ministry. It will be released in January 2008 and is by church historian Thomas Oden. The title is: How Africa Shaped the Christian Mind.
Here's a recommendation from a man I highly respect, Dr. Tite Tienou.
Tite Tiénou, Dean and Professor of Theology of Mission Trinity Evangelical Divinity School"How Africa Shaped the Christian Mind is a bold call to rehabilitate the earliest African contributions to the shaping of world Christianity. As such, it is a major resource for all people interested in the history of the Christian movement. Oden's focus on the intellectual dimension of Africans' role in the formation of Christian culture may surprise some, but it is a much-needed welcome corrective to the assumptions held by many. In my opinion, this book is one of the most significant contributions to the literature on world Christianity. Must reading!"
