Developing Africa Through Ideology, Spirituality and the Literary Tradition
Abstract
There has been a series of scholarly interactions on the viability of situating African ideology and spirituality within literary and biblical discourse. For instance, researchers have asserted that an expression of the African ideological stance has certain implications for theological reflections in Africa. Using the “inculturation hermeneutics” as a theoretical construct, this paper explores how a contextualization of the biblical and literary discourse within the framework of African ideology and spirituality can promote sustainable development in the continent.
Key words: Biblical literature; Proverbs; Ideology; Spirituality; Development
