Description
Africa’s enduring struggle for transformational development will require to be anchored on a Bible-centered narrative from which a Christian vision for development in Africa should proceed. Most of the narratives underlying Africa’s quest for transformational development are those of failure, blame, and accusation. This paper seeks to review George Ayittey’s work on ‘Africa in Chaos’ which is an epitome of the narrative of failure, blame and accusation, in light of Yusuf Turaki’s work on ‘Christian vision for Africa’ an epitome of a Bible-centered vision for development. By exploring the various aspects that each of the two author presents, the study seeks to compare and contrast some of the fronted ideas and concepts showing how they can be utilized to enhance transformational development in Africa. The study’s objective is to propose a biblical conception of transformational development for Africa as a model that will emancipate Africa’s efforts.
