African religion, philosophy, and Christianity in Logos-Christ
Book Description
Professor Emmanuel K. Twesigye presents a profound theological exploration that bridges African spiritual traditions with Christian thought through the unifying concept of the Logos-Christ. This scholarly work challenges the exclusivist doctrine "extra ecclesiam nulla salus" (no salvation outside the church), arguing instead for a more expansive understanding of divine grace that encompasses all humanity.
Drawing from both African religious wisdom and Christian theology, Twesigye demonstrates how God's universal love operates through the eternal Word, extending salvation beyond traditional church boundaries. The author reveals how the creative and redemptive work of the Logos-Christ establishes a cosmic process of creation and renewal that includes every person and society, regardless of their religious affiliation.
This comprehensive study offers readers a transformative perspective on spiritual inclusivity, showing how African traditional religion and philosophy contribute valuable insights to Christian understanding. Rather than viewing different spiritual paths as competing systems, the book illuminates their shared foundation in divine universal grace.
The work serves as both an intellectual journey and a spiritual invitation to embrace a broader vision of God's redemptive presence in the world. Twesigye's approach will resonate with those seeking to understand how diverse religious traditions can inform and enrich one another while maintaining their distinct identities.
This expanded revision provides essential reading for anyone interested in comparative religion, African spirituality, or the intersection of faith traditions in our interconnected world.
