This article contends that Kwame Bediako’s theology promotes a decolonial approach to theological education, aimed at restoring an African sense of life’s wholeness. This perspective emphasizes integrating a transformative spirituality centered on the fullness of life by fostering global networks of decolonial friendships and empowering local communities to embrace their cultural identities within the Christian faith. Consequently, Bediako provides a decolonial vision and pathway for renewing and transforming theological education in African contexts
