The main theme of this article is: “Pauline theology and African Home: Exploring Culture(s), Family, and faith in the Global South.” In order to explore this theme fully, the article used historical research method because the researcher tried to know the meaning of events that happened in the life of Paul through systematic interpretations of time Paul lived and wrote as well as space. Time is necessary because every event is tied to the time in which it happened. The same applies to historical space because every event is tied to a specific space where it took place. Thus time and space are vital to our analysis and interpretation. The faith Paul preached and lived was dynamic and that appealed to Africans resulting to more adherents to Christianity as opposed to the global North. Extensive study was done on Pauline theology –analysing and interpreting factors that influenced his theology. In our enquiry of Paul and gender, it was discovered that humanity is one nature which subsists in two distinct modes namely male and female. Paul is aware of this fact especially when he addressed men and women in their cultural contexts. Our starting point here is Genesis 1:26-28. Our research on African family revealed that: 1) African families adapted to Pauline advice to the Colossians and the Ephesians, 2) Africa has a dynamic culture which permeates every fabric of the people. A typical African man knows and appreciates his culture. An African home is a place made up of children, parents and grandparents. African families do not send their aged parents and grand-parents to old peoples’ homes because these aged ones are part and parcel of the family. This is another outstanding difference between and African family in the global South and the global North. The faith in Africa is getting rooted into the African culture. (299 words)
