  1. Constructive theology

    Constructive theology is the re definition of what has historically been known as systematic theology . The reason for this reevaluation stems from the idea that, in systematic theology, the theologian attempts to develop a coherent theory running through the various doctrines within the tradition Christology , eschatology , pneumatology , etc. . A potential problem underlying such study is that in constructing a system of theology, certain elements may be left out, or forced in order to maintain the coherence of the overall system. In response to this realization, some theologians Sallie McFague , Catherine Keller theologian Catherine Keller , Young Ho Chun and Sharon V. Betcher feel that the term systematic is no longer accurate in reference to theology, and prefer the language of constructive theology. While not a proponent of the language of constructive theology, Karl Barth frequently criticized the practice of systematizing theology or structuring a coherent system upon a philosophical foundation external to theology s own internal commitments.

  1. African Theology

    Christianity in Africa Category Christian theological movements Christian theology stub id Teologi ...African Theology refers to a particular school of African theologians who have attempted to articulate Christian theology from the perspective of the African cultural context. Although there are very old Christian traditions on the continent, in the last centuries Christianity in Africa has been determined to a large extent by western forms of Christianity, brought by colonization and Mission Christian mission . This also means that the theology in Africa was strongly influenced by Western theology. This changed mid 20th century when African Theology as a theological discipline came into being. This movement began to protest against negative colonial and missionary interpretations of the religion and culture in Africa. Realizing that theology is a contextual phenomenon, African Christians begun to read the Scriptures using their own cultural lens, which of course resulted in some interpretations that did not always agree with how Western theology interpreted things. As such, African Theology stands on the shoulders of the early African Independent Churches that broke away from missionary churches in the late 19th century or early 20th century. African theology is engaged to shape Christianity in an African way by adapting and using African concepts and ideas. Representatives are scholars such as Idowu and Mbiti, who gave an analysis and interpretation of the African traditional religion and point to its relation to the Christian faith. Others like Bediako and Pobee have developed ... the relation of African Theology to Black Theology .
