Synopsis

Bride Wealth from an African Theological Perspective, sets out on the premise that Bride wealth has been a significant point of conflict between Christianity and African culture. For some African Christians have held this practice close to their heart. In various cases, where bride wealth negotiations are taking place, concerns have arisen as to whether this practice conflicts with biblical teachings. This led us to research on bride wealth in our endeavor to help African Christians understand biblical teaching regarding the practice. The goal of this study thus is to reflect theologically on bride wealth in Africa by sampling the Dinka, of the Anglican church of Sudan, and ultimately understand the real meaning of bride wealth in Africa today.
