The Significance of the Eucharistic Theology in Africa Today: Understanding the Eucharist Against the Background of Contemporary African Theology: ... Vis-à-vis African Concept of Sacrifice James Yamekeh Ackah

What type of theology does Africa need today? Is it Inculturation or Liberation theology? Inculturation and Liberation theology should been seen as two sides of the same coin. They are complementary and are not opposed to each other. The combination of the strengths of both theologies (Contemporary African Theology) could help Africans live out Christianity authentically within their cultural milieu and integrate Christianity into their religious personality and heritage. To what extent can the Eucharist be considered as sacrifice and meal? What are the similarities between the Eucharist and the African concept of sacrifice and communal meal. What can they learn from each other? We shall attempt to use African Contemporary Theology as a basis of dialogue between the Eucharistic Theology and the African concept of sacrifice and meal.
