Africanization and African Studies

Abstract

In connection with the founding of a Protestant seminary for French-speaking Africa,¹ and particularly in connection with the formation of an African Studies Department in that seminary, Dr. Reyburn presents this analysis of the nature of the Africanization which has already taken place — the unconscious and subtle reorientation of the Christian message as received from the West into African points of view. Dr. Reyburn will be teaching part-time in this new African Studies Department, in addition to his work as a translations consultant of the American Bible Society.
