| Summary: | This is the second article in a series which will take up in detail the relationship between the Old Testament and contemporary Africa (south of the Sahara) in relation to the communication of the gospel and to the life and thinking of Christians. Here the parallel between the Old Testament concept of the relation between sickness, sin, and curse, on the one hand, and the very similar present-day African concept is discussed. The next article in this series will continue this line of thought, examining the role of guilt and sin in African societies in the light of the Old Testament message, and will go on to the examination of the relation of these ideas to the communication of the Christian message. |
