Attempt was made to fmd out whether the books would meet the standards for writing TEE self-study materials which the were set by ACTEA. The set criteria were based on the method (which included 10 elements), the theological basis, the cultural relevance of the books to African Church, and the way educational and ministry levels of students are catered for in the books. Five research questions were formulated by the researcher to guide the study. The study was designed as a literary research. Data related to method (style) in which the books were written, theological basis, cultural relevance and educational and ministry levels of students, were obtained by a thorough study of the five books: (i) Introduction to the Course and African Traditional Religions (ii) Theology of the Bible, (iii) Old and New Testaments, (iv) Church History and Theology and (v) Religions in East Africa. The results were compared to the criteria as stated in Chapter One. The results show that more than 50% of the 10 elements recommended by ACTEA for writing standardized TEE Study materials were used in writing the books. Other recommended indicators namely evangelical theology, educational level of students and materials, and cultural relevance to the African church were also reflected in the books. However, cultural relevance to the African church was reflected with a very low percentage.en-USTheological EduactionEntentionCertificateMaterialC.P.K.
