Theoretical Discussions of Inculturation for Transformative Evangelization. Approaches from Intellectual History of African Catholic Theological Heritage and Voices from the Grassroots
Omollo, Fredrick Otieno (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2016)
This paper delves into cultural dynamics in spiritual, social and material aspects of the human person in his/her existential situation. Culture is anthropological element in theology. It has to do with the intellectual character of theology. Culture's intelligibility makes it belong to the entire intellectual enterprise of humankind. Indeed, culture is intrinsically linked with sustainable development whose functions include educating and socializing of young members to enable them to graduate into mature adults, among other issues. The paper delineates inculturation and approaches from scholarly writings coming from Catholic higher institutions in Africa. The essay explores the mission of inculturation and how it can counteract forces of discrimination of any kind and dehumanization of the human person. The theological basis of inculturation is the incarnational principle.
