Download or read book MISSIONS IN THE DARK SOIL written by ALLEN TIMILEHIN OLATUNDE and published by Africa-GLOW Missions Connect, Nigeria. This book was released on with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is an historical work that reflects on the good, the bad and the ugly experiences of a Southern Baptist missionary, T. J. Bowen and the relevant applications for African missions and contemporary missionaries. The significance of the study lies on the ability to pioneer missions among the people of strange culture, language, colour and values successfully. This book researches into problems observable in the life and works of Bowen that need clarification. They are problem of contextualizing mission, developing means and strategy for language barriers, mission funding and support, neglecting education as mission tool and ill-health challenges of missionaries which usually truncate dreams. This book, however, interacts with Nigerian Baptist Mission under GMB and her relationship with local churches on how to strengthen missionaries with SWOT Analysis. This book recommends suggested ways for African mission boards and agencies to be pragmatic in strategic making, be aware of the psychological welfare of her missionaries and provide a health insurance scheme for serving missionaries. When Mission Board and local churches hold hands together, missionaries will strive better on the field. Mission is still young in Africa dark soil, we only need men, methods and materials to grow gospel as God increases the open-doors for mission.

Excerpt: ...and taciturn, and we were glad to find ourselves safely beyond their borders. By the evening of the second day we had passed the northern boundary of the dreaded Ijebu country, and entered the territory of our friends, the Egbds. Soon after reaching Abbeokuta, the remainder of our party were laid up with African fever. Mr. Lacy's eyes were so much affected that he returned home to avoid total blindness. Mr. Dennard returned to Lagos to begin a station there for tlie purpose of forwarding supplies to the interior. His wife died of fever early in January, and he then removed to Abbeokuta, where he died in June, 1854. He had obtained land for a station at Abbeokuta, but had not yet commenced building. The station is to be resumed. About two months after landing at Lagos, myself and wife proceeded alone and sorrowful to Ijaye, to begin the Yoruba mission. Mr. Mann, of the Church Missionary Society, had preceded us by several months. Kumi welcomed me back to Ijaye, and told me that my land and the boxes I had left in his charge, were all safe. I rented two rooms in a native house, to live in till I could build. They wore about seven feet wide, and scarcely eix feet high to the ceiling, with very low doors, and no windows. The heat was intolerable, especially to my wife, who was in bad health, and not accustomed to African weather. But there was no remedy, except in building a better house; and to this work I devoted myself with so much zeal, that I had little time, and, I confess, but little inclination to preach, for several months. The first labor was to clear the land of bushes and wild sugar-cane, a gigantic and useless sorghum twenty feet high. Some of the chiefs volunteered their people to assist me; but I found this plan so uncertain...

Book Synopsis Religion and the Making of Nigeria by : Olufemi Vaughan
Download or read book Religion and the Making of Nigeria written by Olufemi Vaughan and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Religion and the Making of Nigeria, Olufemi Vaughan examines how Christian, Muslim, and indigenous religious structures have provided the essential social and ideological frameworks for the construction of contemporary Nigeria. Using a wealth of archival sources and extensive Africanist scholarship, Vaughan traces Nigeria’s social, religious, and political history from the early nineteenth century to the present. During the nineteenth century, the historic Sokoto Jihad in today’s northern Nigeria and the Christian missionary movement in what is now southwestern Nigeria provided the frameworks for ethno-religious divisions in colonial society. Following Nigeria’s independence from Britain in 1960, Christian-Muslim tensions became manifest in regional and religious conflicts over the expansion of sharia, in fierce competition among political elites for state power, and in the rise of Boko Haram. These tensions are not simply conflicts over religious beliefs, ethnicity, and regionalism; they represent structural imbalances founded on the religious divisions forged under colonial rule.

Book Synopsis The Ethics of Identity by : Kwame Anthony Appiah
Download or read book The Ethics of Identity written by Kwame Anthony Appiah and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexuality: in the past couple of decades, a great deal of attention has been paid to such collective identities. They clamor for recognition and respect, sometimes at the expense of other things we value. But to what extent do "identities" constrain our freedom, our ability to make an individual life, and to what extent do they enable our individuality? In this beautifully written work, renowned philosopher and African Studies scholar Kwame Anthony Appiah draws on thinkers through the ages and across the globe to explore such questions. The Ethics of Identity takes seriously both the claims of individuality—the task of making a life—and the claims of identity, these large and often abstract social categories through which we define ourselves. What sort of life one should lead is a subject that has preoccupied moral and political thinkers from Aristotle to Mill. Here, Appiah develops an account of ethics, in just this venerable sense—but an account that connects moral obligations with collective allegiances, our individuality with our identities. As he observes, the question who we are has always been linked to the question what we are. Adopting a broadly interdisciplinary perspective, Appiah takes aim at the clichés and received ideas amid which talk of identity so often founders. Is "culture" a good? For that matter, does the concept of culture really explain anything? Is diversity of value in itself? Are moral obligations the only kind there are? Has the rhetoric of "human rights" been overstretched? In the end, Appiah's arguments make it harder to think of the world as divided between the West and the Rest; between locals and cosmopolitans; between Us and Them. The result is a new vision of liberal humanism—one that can accommodate the vagaries and variety that make us human.

The writing is strong throughout."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "One can hardly do better than Religion in American Life.... A good read, especially for the uninitiated. The initiated might also read it for its felicity of narrative and the moments of illumination that fine scholars can inject even into stories we have all heard before. Read it."--Church History This new edition of Religion in American Life, written by three of the country's most eminent historians of religion, offers a superb overview that spans four centuries, illuminating the rich spiritual heritage central to nearly every event in our nation's history.
