Using a framework of excerpts from Chinua Achebes well-known novel, Things Fall Apart, Orobator introduces the major themes of Christian doctrine: God, Trinity, creation, grace and sin, Jesus Christ, church, Mary, the saints, inculturation, and spirituality. While explaining basic Christian beliefs, Theology Brewed in an African Pot also clarifies the differences between an African view of religion and a more Eurocentric understanding of religion.

Very accessible and engaging, each of the eleven short chapters ends with three discussion questions followed by one or two African prayers.

Orobator, a Jesuit priest from Nigeria, teaches theology and religious studies at Hekima College Jesuit School of Theology and Institute of Peace Studies (Nairobi, Kenya), where he is also rector.
