KABONGO, Luc. An Africanised theological education: a reflection from a novice lecturer. STJ [online]. 2020, vol.6, n.4, pp.347-363. ISSN 2413-9467.  https://doi.org/10.17570/stj.2020.v6n4.a14.

The transformation of theological education in the context of Africa has motivated this research. It discusses ways an Africanised theological education could help integrate knowledge with understanding and wisdom. The article stresses the need for theology students to be given more time for practical learning. It also stresses that epistemological diversity should be adopted so that nobody's knowledge acquisition preference is neglected. It also stresses the need for theological education to help students to be integrated into their cultural diversity. It finally stresses that students be exposed through teaching to their African predecessors for inspiration. It concludes that a meaningful Africanised theological education is possible if steps are taken to integrate the above-mentioned points it stressed into theological education in Africa.
