Edward Fasholé-Luke

Edward W. Fasholé-Luke (born 1934) is a Sierra Leone Creole Christian theologian.

Biography

Born in 1934 in Freetown, Sierra Leone, Fasholé-Luke received a BA in general studies from Fourah Bay College (1959). He went for further studies in the United Kingdom, pursuing a BA in theology from St John's College, Durham (1963) and being ordained an Anglican priest in Durham. He then completed a PhD in theology from King's College, Aberdeen (1969),[1] studying with Andrew Walls in the Centre for the Study of Christianity in the Non-Western World[2] and writing a PhD thesis on "The Doctrine of the Church in the Writings of St. Cyprian of Carthage."

After his studies, Fasholé-Luke returned to Sierra Leone and taught theology at Fourah Bay College, beginning in 1969, and serving as its senior chaplain since 1985.[1] He maintained his interest in biblical and patristic studies, but also worked on developing an African Christian theology that was relevant to the social and political setting of West Africa.[3]
