Abstract

How are we to talk about a God who is revealed as love in a situation characterized by poverty and oppression, especially when such poverty is debilitating and vulgarizing? In addressing this question, this article will emphasize the essentiality of economic and anthropological categories in African political theology. It will proceed to explore the reality of the divinization of the African state as the trigger of African poverty. It will discuss the reality of African poverty as the de-subjectivation of African people, and the crucifixion theology of instrumentalized poverty in Africa. Finally, it will propose a theo-anthropological framework as the theo-political public thinking in Africa that will de-divinize the African state, divinize and subjectify the African person.
被钉在十字架上的人:被神化的非洲国家和被去神化的非洲人民
在以贫困和压迫为特征的情况下,尤其是在这种贫困使人衰弱和庸俗化的情况下,我们如何谈论以爱启示的上帝?在探讨这一问题时,本文将强调经济学和人类学范畴在非洲政治神学中的重要性。接下来,文章将探讨非洲国家神化作为非洲贫困导火索的现实。本文将讨论非洲贫困作为非洲人民去主体化的现实,以及非洲工具化贫困的受难神学。最后,它将提出一个人类学框架,作为非洲的公共政治思想,使非洲国家去神化,非洲人神化和主体化。
