The Christian Understanding Of Social And Ethical Issues In Africa

This is the Christian view of some of the social and ethical issues that prevail in society. While there are different interpretations and understanding, the Christian understanding bases on Jesus' teaching as well as pre - Jesus biblical teaching. It so happens that in part Jesus' teaching agrees with some of the teaching of African Tradition. Christians as followers of Christ have Christ as the model on which they base their behaviour. The task of African-Christian understanding of social and ethical issues discovers how Christians can approach the social behaviour that surrounds them in relation to their expected behaviour as Christians in relation to African Context. The topics are interrelated but mostly are appealing to the understanding of adults since the adults are the most affected. Each of the topics has the two dimensions of Africa (both tradition and modern) and the biblical / Christian. The pick on African context has a purpose of looking at the compatibility of Christian understanding and African tradition that has undergone situational changes over time.
