BOOK NOTE
Pedagogy — The Church, Leadership and Theological Education in Africa: Papers in Honour of
Professor Emeritus Osadolor Imasogie Ph.D; Ibadan Baptist Press (Nig.) Ltd., 2009
Philosopher and systematic theologian, Osadolor Imasogie, is by any measure one of the greatest
Baptist theologians to emerge from the African continent. Not only has he exemplified what it means
to do theology in an African context, he has also contributed enormously to the emergence of a
distinguished set of Baptist theologians currently working on the continent.
Imasogie’s Guidelines for Christian Theology in Africa (Africa Christian Press, 1993) still makes
great reading. In this book, Imasogie laments the failure of “Western orthodox theology” to take into
consideration worldviews beyond their own and he offers “guidelines” for a “new Christian theological
approach in Africa.”
Not surprisingly, when Imasogie turned 80, “not a few beneficiaries of the enormous graces of God
upon his life” compiled a festschrift in his honor. The 34 scholars who produced, Pedagogy: The
Church, Leadership and Theological Education in Africa, edited by Ademola Ishola, Deji Ayegboyin
and Sayo Oladejo, address Contextualization and Theology; Biblical Theology and Ethics; Pastoral
Theology and Administration; Baptist Doctrine, Polity and History of Education; and The Imasogie
Phenomenon. The book ends with six tributes to Imasogie by another set of African scholars.
By any measure, Pedagogy is an engaging read.
