Publisher's Synopsis
The author of this dissertation toes the line of many African theologians who have, since the 70s and 80s, tried to develop a postcolonial and specific African theology. The objective of such studies has been the development of a Bible-hermeneutics which evolves out of the language and culture of the given African people. This work, therefore, can be considered to be a successful and important contribution to the self-emancipating African theology of our time, with a focus on the views of the Igalas of Nigeria. Dissertation. (Series: Bibelstudien - Vol. 6)
