Klappentext zu „Living Between Two Worlds “
Young men preparing for the catholic priesthood in Igboland live between the two often opposing epistemic worlds of their African Igbo people and of the mainly Euro-Christian seminary institution. The embedment in different epistemic traditions can be a source of enrichment. Often, however, they constitute sources of psychological conflict. This conflict is relevant in the process of assessing the suitability of admission to priesthood as well as for pastoral effectivity in an African context. The present work is a contribution to the transcultural Christian message of liberation and salvation.

Pressezitat
«The book is an important moment in the self-consciousness of Nigerian theologians. The local Church in general and especially the priests, seminarians and their formators in particular will find enrichment and benefit from the hard work of the author.» (Austin Echema, Journal of Inculturation Theology)«'Living Between Two Worlds' is an epistemological analysis of the contact between European and Igbo cultures, and an empirical verification of its psychological impact on Catholic Igbo seminarians. This book was a priceless inspiration to me during my own doctoral research. It is an indispensable work for seminars on the dynamics of culture contact between European and African cultures». (Collins Okeke, Gregorian University, Rome)
