Justyna Męczennika koncepcja Logos Spermaticos i jej rola we współczesnym dyskursie teologicznym w Afryce

W artykule autor argumentuje, że tradycyjne wierzenia w Afryce są oparte na autentycznym objawieniu Logosu. Ten fakt powinien być uwzględniony w pracy duszpasterskiej na afrykańskim kontynencie. To z kolei stwarza obowiązek dla Kościoła w Afryce, aby na nowo odkryć obecność Logosu w dziedzictwie kultur Afryki, oczyścić to dziedzictwo z błędów wynikających z grzesznej natury ludzkiej i wcielić do dziedzictwa chrześcijańskiego – znaku Kościoła uniwersalnego.
