The relationship between spirituality and culture in Africa : a Christian-ethical perspective

Abstract

This study will investigate the relationship between spirituality and culture using a Christian ethical perspective, specifically, Hauerwas’ universal ethics. The study intends to examine the nature of the relationship between both spirituality and culture and evaluate if there’s an intersection that exists and if so, what it means. The context under which the two phenomena will be analysed will mainly be an African context. The context itself will be examined which means that the study will look into what is African and what is Africa.
