Kwame Bediako summarizes the trends of African theology under two headings: liberation and study of indigenous religions. He focuses on the latter, emphasizing that this study is a theological enterprise, and not simply cultural anthropology. He also suggests that this emphasis of African theology provides a case study in theology of culture. It seems that African theology is helping to remind us that “theology of culture” is not a specialty of some culturally-interested theologians; all theology is theology of culture.
