The history of Christianity in Africa has often been told as a story of Western missions. As such, the contributions of local converts in shaping mission praxis and impacting the success of Christian witness on African soil has often been ignored. In this study, Dr. Francis Omondi seeks to rectify historic omissions by exploring the role of African converts, such as Reuben Omulo, in establishing the Anglican Church in the Nyanza Province of western Kenya. Utilizing Johannes Kritzinger’s encounterological approach, Omondi presents the growth of the church in Central Nyanza as the result of complex and dynamic encounters between Luo culture and Church Mission Society (CMS) theology. Examining seven areas of belief and praxis, such as contextual understanding, interpretation of religious and cultural tradition and perspectives on the role of religious leaders, he explores how CMS missionaries were impacted – and ultimately transformed – through their encounters with the Luo people, and vice versa. Filled with practical implications for the church in Kenya and beyond, this study highlights the radical and often surprising power of encounter, as the gospel becomes incarnate in all cultures and all places.

279 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 3h29min.
One lacuna in Søren Kierkegaard scholarship is in analyzing his works with his self-described identity as a “missionary to Christendom” in mind. Challenging the international connotation of the term “missionary,” Dr. Michio Ogino examines Kierkegaard’s works in which he identified himself as a missionary writer, to reveal how he considered being a missionary an integral part of being a Christian. By chronologically and empirically examining the writings of Søren Kierkegaard, Dr. Ogino argues that Kierkegaard not only proclaimed Jesus Christ in his homeland but did so in a manner similar to how Christ had done on earth, incarnating the Christian message for his contemporaries. Through this provocative exploration, Ogino lays out how the application of Kierkegaardian mission can help to overcome five recognized barriers in Japanese evangelization. Kierkegaard scholars and readers will find a new understanding of the motivations and reasoning behind his works, and missionaries, not only to Japan but all nations, will be encouraged in how his approach can be applied in their context.

We live at a time when religious diversity has become a fact of life in our globalized societies. Yet Christian engagement with Muslims remains complex, complicated by fear, misunderstanding and a history fraught with political and cultural tensions. These essays, drawn from the 2018 and 2019 Middle East Consultations hosted by the Arab Baptist Theological Seminary’s Institute of Middle East Studies, engage the need for a carefully developed theological understanding of Islam, its origins and its sacred text. Weaving together the work of christian scholars of Islam, the Bible, theology and missiology, along with the insights of ministry practitioners, this book combines scholarly exploration with pertinent ministry practice, offering a rich framework for the church to continue its conversation about its engagement with Muslim communities and its proclamation of Christ worldwide.

82 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 1h01min.
Sarah’s Laughter provides a reflection on suffering that is deeply personal and both theologically and philosophically astute. Vinoth Ramachandra draws on his distinctive positioning as a Sri Lankan Christian theologian – one who has lived and ministered in contexts shaped by the destruction of natural disasters and the violence of human evil – to confront the intellectual, moral, and political challenges posed to faith in the increasingly broken world of the twenty-first century. Yet far from being an abstract discussion of theodicy, this book is intimate and vulnerable, embracing the biblical practice of lament and inviting an authentic response to grief – one that makes space for serious doubt and profound questioning. Sharing his own ongoing journey with suffering and a questing faith, Ramachandra reminds us that lament and joy, faith and protest, clarity and ambiguity, belong together in faithful Christian discipleship. It is not in bypassing the darkness of the world, but in embracing it – in imitation of the incarnate God – that we may glimpse the new creation.

Africa needs leaders and Christians from every walk of life to rediscover their identity and purpose in all spheres of society. African Public Theology sounds a clarion call to accomplish this vital task. God created all humans equally, intending for us to live in community and take responsibility for the world around us – a mandate we need to act on. Through faithful application of Scripture to contexts common in the continent today, contributors from across Africa join as one to present a vision for the Africa that God intended. No simplistic solutions are offered – instead African Public Theology challenges every reader to think through the application of biblical principles in their own community, place of work and sphere of influence. If we heed the principles and lessons that God’s word has for society, culture and public life, then countries across Africa can have hope of a future that is free from corruption and self-promotion and is instead characterized by collective stewardship and servant-hearted leadership.

Many people are aware of the extraordinary explosion of Christianity throughout China in recent decades, but few know how it has occurred. In The China Chronicles, Paul Hattaway draws on 35 years of experience in China and numerous first-hand interviews with church leaders to provide insight into how the Living God has brought about the largest revival in the history of Christianity. Presented in a style that is exciting, relevant and transformative, Hattaway documents the acts of the Holy Spirit throughout China, preferring to focus on the wonderful things God has done for men rather than on what men have done for God. Fujian, a province in southeast China with more than 40 million people, was considered an obscure region in the past, but the gospel has blazed such a pathway that by the 1920s Fujian contained more Christians than any other province of China. The home of key Chinese church leaders, including John Sung, Watchman Nee, and Leland Wang, the church in Fujian has impacted millions of people in Southeast Asia and throughout the world.

Africans are on the move. They are moving within their nations, across the continent, and around the world. This is not a new phenomenon. From the days of historic slavery to modern times, Africans in pursuit of education, jobs, business, and safety, have created a vibrant global diaspora. Whether voluntarily or forcibly displaced, they carry their values of spirituality, community, and hospitality wherever they go. As the largest Christian continent in the world, African Christianity is inevitable in diasporic discourses. This collection of essays from leading scholars and seasoned practitioners reveals the journeys of modern African diasporas from a Christian perspective. Timely and unprecedented, it reveals how God moves with African people, making himself known amongst them and through them.

The tradition of African ritual meals is an interesting topic of discussion in the fields of religious studies and cultural anthropology. In light of Paul’s teachings in 1 Corinthians, could these practices for honouring ancestors be perceived as idolatrous? Expanding on this comparison, Dr. Samantha Chambo expertly investigates the transformative power of rituals, examining the capacity of the Lord’s Supper to impact our relationships with God and others. Weaving together African spirituality, ritual practices, and Pauline theology, Dr. Chambo offers a unique and culturally informed perspective through the lens of Victor Turner’s ritual theory of liminality and communitas. Practical applications to ecclesiastical issues come together with an indigenous spiritual perspective to fulfil the need for a comprehensive exploration of the intersection of African ritual meals and Paul’s teachings in 1 Corinthians 8–11. This fresh and innovative work is an essential read for scholars, theologians, and individuals interested in the dynamic interplay of cultural practices and religious teachings.

The book of Psalms is often drawn upon as a deep well of emotionally connecting literature, in time of praise and of great sorrow, for Christian communities and individuals. Delving into the history of the Psalter, Dr. Danijel Berković engages in the discussion of understanding of the “psalmist” as individual or corporate to illuminate the distinction between piety in the personal and the private. Questions on the nature of religious and emotional experience, Israelite anthropology and the Hebrew concept of person, and the capacity of poetic language to convey meaning in these, are addressed adeptly through a variety of disciplines. This detailed study provides fresh insight on piety and emotion expressed in the Psalms, and is a valuable addition to psalmist scholarship.

Interpersonal conflict among Christians is a common challenge worldwide. However, the literature on the topic is often dominated by Western perspectives which hold limited relevance for shame-oriented societies. Dr. Mano Emmanuel seeks to fill this gap, helping readers understand how conflict – and our reactions to it – are culturally embedded. Using case studies from Sri Lanka, she explores the impact of seven factors on how conflict is perceived and resolved, particularly in honour-shame contexts. Reflecting theologically and biblically on these cultural dynamics, Dr. Emmanuel offers biblical guidelines for dealing with conflict in God-honouring ways while affirming what should be affirmed in culture and challenging what should be challenged. Each chapter also contains questions for discussion and reflection, making this a practical and accessible resource for any believer seeking to aid the church in its calling to reconciliation and peacemaking.

When we fail to grasp the overarching plot of the Bible, we inevitably reduce the gospel to something smaller than it is – and simultaneously compromise the scope of our own lives and callings. In this collection of twenty interrelated sermons, Dr. Bernardo Cho lays out the history of salvation as communicated through the entirety of Scripture, from creation to new creation. He demonstrates the cohesive nature of the biblical narrative, while expanding our awareness of Christ’s redemption, our identities as people of God, and our role in the world and in God’s story of reconciliation. Written in accessible language, this book provides readers with a framework for interpreting biblical passages in light of the overarching narrative of Scripture and serves as an excellent model for teaching the Bible as a unified whole.

In this second volume by Dr. Peter Nyende, he outlines a biblical theology of pastoral ministry that highlights its vital importance and provides a comprehensive understanding of its fundamental goals and activities. This understanding is rooted in Jesus’s designation as the chief shepherd, which is the fulfilment of the pastoral responsibilities of the priests and prophets in the Old Testament and the catalyst of the ministry of the apostles and their non-apostolic counterparts in the New Testament. Nyende identifies the three components of pastoral ministry in the Bible as preaching and teaching the word, caring for those in difficulty, and facilitating worship, thus providing readers with an exemplary framework for a truly biblical model of pastoral ministry. This book is for pastors and theological students who seek to deepen their understanding of pastoral ministry by going beyond the mechanics of their everyday tasks and discovering the true goal and meaning that fuels their ministry.

The erosion of moral values on a global scale has left nations vulnerable to greed, power, and violence as the shaping forces of culture. In the absence of an ethical foundation, corruption reverberates through public life, destabilizing countries and undermining human flourishing. Examining the many challenges facing Nigeria in the twenty-first century, Dr. Sunday Bobai Agang suggests that his homeland is experiencing just such a crisis – one rooted not in religion, economics, or politics but rather an eroding moral foundation. For a nation to thrive, he argues, its people must possess a moral and ethical vision characterized by sincerity and truth, love and unity. Far from representing impractical ideals, these are the virtues upon which a nation’s security and stability depend. Endangered Moral Values offers both a powerful warning of the dangers inherent in ignoring a society’s ethical and moral decay and a passionate invitation for citizens to work together towards a transformed future.

While there is now opportunity to do so, developing a theology of worship in the local context is imperative. Filling this gap, Dr. Leonid Mikhovich considers the historical, religious, and political contexts that have influenced Russian-speaking worship. Drawing examples from the Baptist movement in Belarus, Dr. Mikhovich analyzes its various influences and explores conflict arising between local and foreign traditions within the process of adopting some Western structures for the Eastern situation. The results prompt reflection on the different expressions of worship and the underlying convictions present in respective cultural contexts, while also offering counsel for dealing with tensions between liturgical practices and authoritative voices in the Baptist tradition. As the first of its kind, worship and church history scholars will find this comprehensive study into traditional Russian-speaking worship invaluable for understanding its historical, theological, and cultural perspectives, and essential for mapping its future.

Una ‘segunda reforma’ se está gestando en la teología global. La educación teológica evangélica en el mundo mayoritario está creciendo rápidamente y su impacto global está aumentando. Las y los eruditos están aplicando los frutos de sus investigaciones en campos bíblicos y teológicos a sus contextos, sirviendo las necesidades de estudiantes de teología y de las iglesias y sus líderes. Actualmente, una de las tendencias más notables en la educación teológica global es el creciente surgimiento de programas de doctorado evangélicos. Comenzando con una importante consulta en Beirut en 2010, la Iniciativa Doctoral de ICETE se ha dedicado a proveer recursos para desarrollar y equipar a estos programas. Este libro contiene los resultados de esa labor e incluye los Estándares (educativos) de Beirut para Programas de Doctorado de Investigación (2010), la Adaptación de los Estándares de Beirut para Doctorados Profesionales (2011) y una serie de declaraciones bien desarrolladas sobre las mejores prácticas, que explican y amplían los Estándares y ayudan a aplicarlas. Escrito a partir de un compromiso con la excelencia –en honor a Dios y al servicio de su iglesia–, este trabajo beneficiará tanto a los programas de doctorado como a sus estudiantes y supervisores, en el Mundo Mayoritario así como en Occidente.
