520 |a The present paper discusses the question of missiology in an African context and raises the following questions: What has been the prevailing missiology in Africa? What can Africans say about missiology in the new century? Have Africans something to contribute in missiology, or should they continue to be consumers of the mission theology and the version of Christianity developed overseas? Can African churches be fully participant in the evangelization of the continent and of the world? And finally, what kind of contribution can African theologians make in order to promote the inculturation of the Christian faith and of human promotion in the continent? In exploring these issues, the author has chosen to emphasize the importance of a new language for missiology in Africa1 and the need to correct the inaccuracies of the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries' foreign missionary accounts of the culture and people of the continent, which are still very much with us and are not about to go away. The paper underlines the irreplaceable role of African intellectuals and gifted theologians in the development of new cultural identity and language for missiology in the continent.
