Abstract

Abstract Multiplicity defines the features of the the Nigerian State. This paper examines the role of Islam in the training of Catholic priests in Nigeria. The work employs the historical, analytical and evaluative methods to examine the transformative stages of Islam from its inception and the challenges its poses to the Christian evangelical mission in Nigeria. The findings reveal that Islam, which arrived through commercial activities, has become a powerful influence in Nigerian society. It exercises a dynamic influence on the spiritual formation of Catholic priests and provides strategies for their mission in the country. The paper recommends a commitment to interreligious dialogue by the Catholic and cooperation with Islamic citizens. This commitment and cooperation should be embedded in the curriculum of Nigeria’s Catholic seminaries.

伊斯兰研究对尼日利亚天主教牧师制度形成的重要性
摘要多重性定义了尼日利亚国家的特征。本文探讨了伊斯兰教在尼日利亚天主教牧师培训中的作用。这项工作采用了历史、分析和评估的方法来考察伊斯兰教从诞生之初的变革阶段及其对尼日利亚基督教福音派使命构成的挑战。研究结果表明,通过商业活动传入的伊斯兰教已经在尼日利亚社会中产生了强大的影响。它对天主教牧师的精神形成产生了积极的影响,并为他们在该国的使命提供了策略。该文件建议天主教致力于宗教间对话,并与伊斯兰公民合作。这种承诺与合作应纳入尼日利亚天主教神学院的课程中。
