A conversation with Dr. Rudolf K. Gaisie
We invite you to tune into our latest podcast with Dr. Rudolf K. Gaisie on Jesus Christ as Logos Incarnate and Resurrected Nana (Ancestor). In this conversation, we explore together how Christians in the early Church and today have faced a similar task of understanding Christ in and through local cultures and languages. Rudolf sets the table for a wider conversation about what it means for each of us to engage the gospel faithfully within our cultural contexts.
His doctoral thesis is published as Jesus Christ as Logos Incarnate and Resurrected Nana (Ancestor): An African Perspective on Conversion and Christology (Foreword by Anthony O. Balcomb). Eugene: Pickwick, 2020. Listen and learn with us as Dr. Gaisie walks us through the research and writing process, central themes of this publication, and new learnings that come from the Akan context.
