ANTHONY KANU'S IGWEBUIKE: AN ACCESS TO IGBO PRACTICAL THEOLOGY
Charles Chukwuebuka Ugonwafor

ABSTRACT

The question of inculturation of the Christian faith has been a theme that has gained acceptance especially in Africa. The focus of this article is to present practical theology through the prism of Professor Anthony Kanu's Igwebuike theologies of ikwa ogwe and omenani. This is to further the thesis of inculturation of the Christian faith in an Igbo cultural setting, which has been made possible in the ambience of practical theology, especially as it deals with the relation between faith and lived experience. The Igwebuike thought process as championed by Anthony Kanu, is seen in this article as an ally of theology to continue to deepen faith’s comprehension as against being an abstract reality that is inaccessible.

Keywords: Anthony Kanu, Igwebuike, Practical theology, Igbo culture
