Abstract
Africa’s urban explosion presents a clear challenge to the way theological education
in Africa is done today. The backdrop of this article is a collaborative research project
that involved 15 theological institutions across the African continent, contemplating
what theological education and formation should look like, considering Africa’s current and future urban realities. It proposes paradigmatic shifts in theological education, grounded in thorough conceptual and hermeneutical self-critique. It explores
various approaches to urbanising theological curricula and concludes with a call for
a new kind of African urban apostolate
