In today’s African Theological institutions, the most pressing issue is to combine technology, Andragogy, and theology as one entity while at the same time ensuring that they deliver a holistic, theological education to students. This research work investigates how technology is integrated with Andragogy and theology in African Christian education to offer holistic and relevant learning experiences for students. Nevertheless, there have been some difficulties in maintaining coherence and integration of Christian Education thus making it difficult to balance between learning and faith in Christ. “Integrating Technology, Andragogy, and Theological Educational Knowledge (TETAK)” for 21st-century Christian education is investigated in this study. This is an adaptation of TPACK which is proposed. The main aim is to find out what frameworks/models will successfully merge TETAK with Christian education. The objective here lies in giving Christian teachers skills that can enable them to address the challenges of the 21st century effectively without compromising religious teachings that are rooted in their faith. The document analysis method was used as the methodology for this research study. It entails examining thoroughly all literature including books, articles, or even educational materials relating to TETAK in Christian education.
