This chapter discusses the imperative for a re-orientation of the theology of reconstruction and intercultural theology in the African (and global) context. It introduces the field of work and research entitled intercultural theology. The chapter discusses the social relevance of the theology of reconstruction and outlines ways in which the theology of reconstruction can provide stimuli to intercultural theology. Intercultural theology explores the interaction between Christian faith and diverse societal contexts, and analyzes the corroborative and critical power of the Christian message that motivates people to engage with political issues. The foundation for the subject of intercultural theology is to be found in the criticism of the hitherto Eurocentrism of theology. The African theology of reconstruction has much to do with "re-orientation," as Jesse Mugambi makes clear in his book, Christian Theology, and Social Reconstruction.
