A Christological motif that has the potential to be
especially powerful in African Folk Islamic contexts is the idea of Jesus as
holy teacher, or Mwalimu for
Makua-Metto speakers. Matthew’s Gospel is an especially effective guide for
this path as it presents Jesus as the new rabbi, surpassing even Moses. A former intern, Andrew Montgomery, and I wrote an article that evaluates the usefulness and appropriateness of this Christological
approach in northern Mozambique that was published recently in the International Journal of Frontier Missiology. To check it out, click here.
