There is a lack of contextualized theology books for the African church. A survey of Christian doctrine written to address this need, with an emphasis on African problems, was published in 1992. This study is an evaluation of the cultural relevance and the readability of that book in the opinion of the kind of secondary and post-secondary level African theological students who will likely use the book in the future. The sixty-four participants in the evaluation were students from a Bible college and a seminary in Kenya and a Bible college and a seminary in Ethiopia. The research sought answers to six research questions by investigating the response to two selected chapters in the book. To get the information needed, the study used a written survey instrument and a focus discussion group at each test location. A combined average of 77 percent rated the book as well contextualized. Concering the book as a whole, 98 percent of the participants said the book was either the most completely related to African life of any book they had read about the Bible (78 percent) or more related to African life than many but not all others (20 percent).
