Barnabé Hounguevou, S.J.’s “Jesus as Guest, Host, and Meal: Three Images as Approach to the Christological Problem in Africa” immerses us into the challenge of “naturalizing” Jesus in Africa where Christ is perceived as a foreign and irrelevant entity. Hounguevou’s rich discussion leads us to reflect on the extent to which we have also introduced Jesus in a way that is truly rooted in and relevant to our own people’s culture. Following the thought of Enyi Ben Udoh, he advocates a Christology anchored on under- standing and presenting the figure of Jesus as guest, host, and meal in a manner that is faithful both to African culture as well as to Scripture and tradition. In this year dedicated not only to Ecumenism and Interreligious Dialogue but also to Indigenous Peoples, he models a way for us to navigate the vast but still largely unchartered territory of doing theology in a fully Catholic but also fully indigenous way. – from the Associate Editor’s Preface
