THE HOLY SPIRIT AND SALVATION IN AFRICAN CHRIST...

The Holy Spirit and Salvation in African Christian Theology challenges the dominant
understanding of the Holy Spirit in African Christian salvific discourse. The most prevalent
approach in reflections on the Holy Spirit and salvation in African Christian theology insists
that these doctrines be made to address the spiritualized African traditional religious
cosmology. This dominant approach to the Holy Spirit and salvation have therefore led to the
baptism of African traditional religious cosmology in African Christian theology. Baptizing the
African cosmology has  in turn  brought about the emphasis on the miraculous in African
pneumatology and soteriology. The Holy Spirit and Salvation in African Christian Theology
further argues that such stress on the miraculous blocks other ways by which the Holy Spirit
might be understood in African soteriological discourse. In addition  this study proposes that
the Holy Spirit be perceived as enabling critical philosophical rationality andthe development
of science and technology in Africa  features that are crucial to enhancing the well-being of
the continent and its peoples.
