These bombings shattered the image of Africa?s tradition of peaceful religious coexistence. Since then inter-religious dialogue has been high on the agendas of ecclesial and religious organisations, but not so much of faculties of theology and departments of religion in East Africa. This book investigates why this is so. How are interreligious relations dealt with in Africa, and more particularly, how are they and how should they be taught in institutions of higher learning? This book is based on fieldwork in Nairobi from 2001 onwards. It shows why Africa?s tradition of peaceful co-existence is not going to help Africa in the 21st century, and recommends a shift in the education in inter-religious relations: from religions studies to inter-religious studies. 410 0$aStudies in world Christianity and interreligious relations ;$vno. 44. 606 $aReligions$xRelations 607 $aAfrica$xReligion$y21st century 615 0$aReligions$xRelations. 676 $a201.5096 700 $aWijsen$b Frans Jozef Servaas$f1956-$01647651 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815962703321 996 $aSeeds of conflict in a haven of peace$94042510 997 $aUNINA
