Théologie kasaliste et droits de Dieu

Summary

Listening to the songs of a number of musicians from Kasai in DR Congo, the audience feels like they are transported to heaven. The God of Jesus Christ benefits from attributes borrowed from the cultural universe of the singer-poet. Beyond the beauty of the melody, we have sometimes been asked to ask ourselves if the poet leaves God in his own consistency and redefines himself in relation to the exercise of his profession. This questioning led us to revisit a literary genre inspired by the Christian poet of Kasaï. This is kasala, of which we would like, in this book, to present the context of historical and cultural rooting, and to try to explain the meaning and the stake in the culture of the Bantu or the Luba people, in general, and Christian luba, in particular, before proceeding to a theological evaluation.
