The approach of the study is groundbreaking as it is the first monograph published on the theological method of any African theologian. The question about the position and relevance of Western philosophical-theological systems in a non-Western context also has a wider relevance concerning contextual theologies in general. Nyamiti's theology is a germane and a fruitful choice for the study of this issue because of his programmatic attempt to build a coherent African Roman Catholic theological system. His theology is also well-known for its strong African flavor in elaborating theological questions within the framework of orthodox Roman Catholic doctrine.Studies in Christian Mission23.TheologyAfricaTheologyAfricaMethodologyTheologyfastTheology, DoctrinalfastTheologyMethodologyfastAfricafastTheologyTheologyMethodology.Theology.Theology, Doctrinal.TheologyMethodology.230/.2/092 Vähäkangas Mika1234538NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910163128503321In search of foundations for African Catholicism2867774UNINA
