Product Description

THIS BOOK ADVANCES INCULTURATION THEOLOGY. It builds on the failure of Catholicism to take root in regions like North Africa, which were part of the origins of Catholicism. It recognizes that Catholicism will be firmly rooted only where faith and culture enter a harmonious dialogue. The translation and adaptation models of evangelization, which were used in transmitting the Catholic faith in the past centuries, have proven inadequate in rooting the faith in many cultures. Contextual models are the most enduring. Researching the contextual worship experiences of educated young people in institutions of higher education in Tivland within central Nigeria, the book synthesizes an an analogical and harmonious relationship of faith and culture. ... REVEREND CLEMENT IORLIAM is a priest of the Diocese of Gboko, Nigeria. He was ordained in 1997. He holds a Master's degree in Religious Studies and a Ph.D. in Practical Theology. He is currently on official assignment in the Diocese of San Diego, California, USA.
