La conversion des Beti au christianisme

: une approche historico-théologique

Abstract

Christianity has been implanted in several countries of equatorial Africa since the nineteenth century. With the sacrifice of many missionaries, the Gospel has reached the most remote parts of this continent. In recent years, christian communities have been growing throughout the African continent. It is surprising how people from families who followed the traditional religion joined christian faith. This dissertation does not intend to examine the christianization of the whole African continent. Instead, it is sought to understand the reasons of the Beti people conversion to christianity. It is sought to indicate the factors that contributed in a decisive way so that this people joined to the christianity. Insofar as knowing the past we can better think the future, the present work intends to help to see how the new evangelization of the Beti people should be effected, one hundred and fifteen years after the first evangelization.
