Akụkọ ndụ
[dezie | dezie ebe o si]Bediako was born in Akropong, Ghana and, as the son of a police inspector, grew up at the Black Police Training School in Accra. As a result of this training, he learned and speaks his mother tongue, Twi, and the Accra Ga language..
Bediako was raised in a Christian home, the son of a Presbyterian catechist and evangelist, and received his secondary education at Mfantsi-pim School, Cape Coast, which was originally established as part of the British Methodist mission. However, he later became an atheist under French existentialist influence and pursued a master's and doctoral degree at the University of Bordeaux in French-speaking African literature. But during his time in France, he had a strong conversion process back to Christianity. In 1973, he married a fellow French student from England, Gillian Mary. He later went on to do a second doctorate in 1983 in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Aberdeen, under Andrew Walls. .
