African Christian Ethnomusicology in Biblical Perspective
Synopsis
This book engages in the conversation among members of the African Church – the Body of Christ – on her continued expression in song of her experience of Jesus Christ within the context of African worldviews. Many African Christian theologians claim that it is natural for an African to express oneself in song. In this book, the author begins his discussion by looking first at Biblical basis for ethnicity or ethnological reflection. Second, he carries out a brief discussion on the Biblical basis for ethnomusicology. Third, he looks at some of the reasons for the absence of or delay for a vibrant African ethnomusicological reflection in the African Church. Fourth, he ventures to recommend the scope within which African Christian ethnomusicological reflection should be focused. He concludes the discussion by highlighting and underscoring the qualities of an effective African Christian ethnomusicologist. This book is highly recommended for scholars and anyone interested in missiology, musicology, ethnomusicology and inter-cultural studies.
