Are There Stages of Meaning in African Theology?

Lonergan speaks of three stages of meaning, but John Dadosky argued that there is a fourth implied, which Lonergan did not fully develop. Building on this ideal construct of the stages developed by Lonergan—with one further fleshed out by Dadosky—and applying it to the study of African theology, this article offers insight into the evolution of phases of African theology with a view to determining whether African theology has reached a fourth stage of meaning.
