：普遍主义指的是普遍适用于所有人的东西，而种族神学是一种倾向于偏袒某一种族而损害其他种族的神学。在《使徒行传》中，被认为是作者的路加通过各种事件强调了这种歧视性的种族神学，但同时，他试图通过表明救恩是普遍的来揭穿和拒绝这种神学。本文试图将路加的立场与以歧视、部落主义和地方主义为特征的尼日利亚社会联系起来。它主张，尽管存在这些差异，尼日利亚人应该学会像对待兄弟一样对待所有其他人，无论他们有何差异。
: Universalism refers to something that is general and applicable to everybody, while racial theology is the theology which tends to favour one race to the detriment of others. In the book of Acts of the Apostles, Luke who is believed to have written it, highlights this discriminatory racial theology through various events, but at the same time, he tries to debunk and reject this theology by showing that salvation is universal. This paper attempts to relate Luke’s position to the Nigerian society which is characterized by discrimination, tribalism and sectionalism. It advocates that, despite these differences, Nigerians should learn to treat all others like brothers, irrespective of their differences.
