Beschreibung:
Eugene Didier Goussikindey is a member of the Society of Jesus. His research interests focus on Revelation, Christology, Intercultural dialogue and Peace. He taught at the Jesuit School of Theology in Nairobi (Hekima College) and in Abidjan (ITCJ).
For decades, Africans have attempted to make Christianity at home within their continent conscious of its distinctive cultural background and its specific socio-economic and political environment. Eboussi's core insight of interpreting Christianity as a unique answer to the crisis of Israel of keeping one's fundamental identity in the midst of powerful nations in global expansion and claims of universal vision is compelling for Africa and, a matter for thought for the current quest for identity in the age globalization. Indeed, the resurgence of far-right movements, new nationalism and religious fundamentalism as ways of preserving oneself from external forces can learn some lessons from the "Christic model". It is not by closing oneself off that one survives.
