A Biblical Aestheticism in African Perspective

This book, titled "A Biblical Aestheticism in African Perspective. Exploring Its Significance on the Church in Africa," aims to decolonize African Christianity from Western Domination by exploring the value of African Christianity and its cultural aestheticism within the context of the African church. The author investigates the significance of African cultural aestheticism in shaping the church in Africa. However, the author also cautions against the risk of syncretism, urging the church in Africa to maintain a balance between Africentric Biblical Aestheticism and adherence to core Christian principles. Furthermore, the book advocates for the harmonious integration of artistic, moral, and spiritual aesthetics among Christians in Africa. By doing so, it seeks to promote a holistic understanding of aesthetics within the African Christian context.
