| Summary: | In this review article Trobisch approaches critically what he feels may be the first significant heresy to emerge from the African churches. He feels that the reasons for African attitudes about church discipline come from African values which have never been truly faced by church leaders to a point where a real theology of marriage for Africa could emerge. The end result of the long periods of contact between missionaries and Africans has been almost nil in a common understanding of sex life and marriage. A legalistic, non-Biblical pattern of church life is emerging as a result. |
