| Summary: | The author proposes that the term “a Fifth Gospel” is a valid metaphor in theology today. “Gospel” and “good news” can be applied to the way that God is revealing himself through our human experience and daily lives. In light of the insights of the Theology of Story (Narrative Theology), our stories of faith are examples of Fifth Gospels. This article examines the history and deeper meaning of the metaphor of a Fifth Gospel, looks at these metaphors from the perspectives of the theology of revelation and Christology, and narrates three concrete stories (examples) of Africa's Fifth Gospel. |
