Engaging African Realities: Integrating Social Science within African Theology

January 13, 2021

Overview

In collaboration with Calvin University, Professor Afe Adogame is leading a project to support African theologians to engage in fresh social scientific integrated approaches in grounded theology, with the goal of producing creative and original projects. This project is an attempt at realizing the potential of theological creativity from the bottom up, as opposed to the top down. The work will include early career African theologians with compelling research ideas to work on three years of research and curricular development.

While maintaining his position as Chair of History and Ecumenics at Princeton Theological Seminary, Professor Adogame is serving as project chair of Engaging African Realities: Integrating Social Science within African Theology. He is also co-director with Dr. Retief Müller, PhD ‘08, of this project, which originates from Calvin’s Nagel Institute for the Study of World Christianity. The project is funded by the Templeton Religion Trust.
