- Summary
- "Jesus of Africa explores christologies from French-and English-speaking African scholars and clergy while also reporting on how African lay people view Jesus. Stinton has a keen appreciation for how theology is being reconceptualized in Africa, as titles such as messiah and christos are translated into new languages and different symbolic universes. Scholars, students, and mission professionals will find Jesus of Africa indispensable reading."--BOOK JACKET.
