Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does celibacy mean for individuals and for the people around them? What function does it serve? This is the first cross-cultural inquiry into the practice of celibacy around the world and through the ages, among groups as diverse as Kenyan villagers and U.S. prisoners, Mazatec Shamans and Buddhist nuns and monks, Shaker church members and anorexic women. The examples of celibacy described here illustrate the complex relationship between human sexuality and its particular sociocultural context. Ideas about the body, gender, family, work, religion, health, and other dimensions of life come sharply into focus as the contributors examine the many practices and institutions surrounding sexual abstinence. They show that, though celibacy is certainly sometimes a punishment or a deliberate ritual abstinence, it also serves many other social and material functions and in some cases contributes to kin-group survival and well-being. Celibacy, Culture, and Society represents a significant step toward understanding the functions and meanings of sexuality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference collection presents academic reviews of more than twelve-hundred contemporary Africa-related publications relevant for informed Christian reflection in and about Africa. The collection is based on the review journal BookNotes for Africa, a specialist resource dedicated to bringing to notice such publications, and furnishing them with a one-paragraph description and evaluation. Now assembled here for the first time is the entire collection of reviews through the first thirty issues of the journal’s history. The core intention, both of the journal and of this compilation, is to encourage and to facilitate informed Christian reflection and engagement in Africa, through a thoughtful encounter with the published intellectual life of the continent. Reviews have been provided by a team of more than one hundred contributors drawn from throughout Africa and overseas. The books and other media selected for review represent a broad cross-section of interests and issues, of personalities and interpretations, including the secular as well as the religious. The collection will be of special interest to academic scholars, theological educators, libraries, ministry leaders, and specialist researchers in Africa and throughout the world, but will also engage any reader looking for a convenient resource relating to modern Africa and Christian presence there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celibacy and Soul: Exploring the Depths of Chastity is for women and men who have chosen to live into celibate chastity. It is also for those people who live celibate love, and though not vowed to a religious calling, know the way of celibate love as their path. You may find yourself celibate not by choice or you may hope it is a temporary stage. Perhaps life interrupted your plans with the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, the situation of illness, the trauma of abuse, or you simply didn’t settle with the desired partner and you want to find meaning in your life as a celibate person. Celibacy and Soul is also useful for those in the helping professions, as the work of a therapist asks a celibate kind of loving that can be catalyst for change in both clients and practitioners.

Download or read book Challenges of Christian Marriage in African Culture written by Sylvester Oyeka and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-08-03 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book Challenges of Christian Marriage in Africa Culture is a reflection of Fr. Sylvester on the challenges encountered by Christian marriage in a communitarian African culture of kinship. While Christian marriage is a free decision of the couple involved, African marriage is a communitarian task, and thus, the decision of the community must take precedence. The contrast between Christian marriage and African marriage becomes a challenge to the Christian ideology of marriage. However, this book aims at a reconciliation between these marriages, where the moral values found in either marriage could be adopted for a sustainable marriage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This newly published book, "AFRICAN CULTURE IS NOT TO BLAME (Western Culture Is To Blame) written by Dr. P.E. Aligwekwe has a very important message both for the West and for Africa; but most particularly for the West. The book is a very audacious speaking out of a biting truth avoided or minimized by the guilty, sidetracked by the nonchalant, purposely misrepresented by the addict, or distorted by the agnostic and arrogant. The book ́s realism is an asset to knowing for certain where the source of our contemporary sexual moral decadence and the very much needed solution really lie. Learn in it something about the main causes and bases of priest/clergy sexual abuse that is nowadays the general topic of the day. Learn more about the origin and main causes of homosexuality in humans, and also about prostitution, abortion and other the main social topics of our day. Surely you will want to read this exiting book, and pass it on to whomever you care for – family, friend or colleague. Besides, you will bring its substance to the knowledge of as many members of the society as possible. The author’s previous book titled "THE CONTINUITY OF TRADITIONAL VALUES IN THE AFRICAN SOCIETY (The Igbo of Nigeria)- a book rightly qualified as a valuable tertiary institution anthropology text or reference book, published 2008, is equally available in the bookstore of the same publishers".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christianity in Africa is witnessing an unprecedented growth in membership, the author argues that in order to sustain its momentous growth and deepen the faith particularly among Catholics, the Church needs to acculturate an African model that resonates with Africans’ religiosity, cultural consciousness and worldview. The author contends that the model of the Church as the Extended family of God is best suited for an African ecclesiology and deepening the faith of African Christians.

This book was released on 2022-08-24 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of Demons and Angels is a book that takes the reader into a unique life experience of an ex-catholic priest. This is a story of faith that gives an insight into the peculiar, complex, and most intriguing aspects of priesthood like celibacy and the difference between a real Christian and a pseudo one. By adopting an informal writing and a deeply personal tone, the author chooses not to hide but to treat such thorny issues with humility, honesty, lived experience, faith, and a deep sense of soul searching both as a Catholic Christian and as a former Catholic priest. Francis Chilufya Chanda is currently Head of Section at St. Mary’s College of Education in Mbala, Northern Province. Before becoming a lecturer, he was a Catholic priest for ten years in the Archdiocese of Lusaka, Zambia. After leaving priesthood, he taught at Kasama Girls’ Secondary School in Kasama and St. John’s Secondary School where he was Head of Languages Department in an acting capacity in Malole, Mungwi District. He holds a Master’s Degree in Communication for Development (UNZA - Lusaka), Degree in Theology (St. Dominic’s Major Seminary, affiliated to Urbaniana University - Rome), Diploma in Philosophy/Religious Studies (Mpima Philosophic ate Seminary - Kabwe), Certificate in Public Relations under Adult Extension Studies (UNZA) and an Advanced Certificate in Teaching Methodology (TVTC - Luanshya).
