Professor
journeys of reconciliation seminar, Fall 2007
The primary goal of my scholarship is to generate a fresh theological conversation about Africa within a re-imagined vision of global Christianity. In my research, writing and teaching, I explore the complex histories of Africa and Christianity’s status within those histories, as a way to illumine how Christianity and a Christian social imagination might be the source of new future in Africa. This scholarly focus continues to be shaped at the various intersections of my biography as an African Catholic priest, a theologian with a philosophy background, and my current position as a professor of theology at Duke Divinity School, and as a founding do-director of the center of Reconciliation. It is these various intersections that define the context as well as the distinctiveness of my scholarship.
