Book Synopsis Comfort and Protest by : Allan Aubrey Boesak
Download or read book Comfort and Protest written by Allan Aubrey Boesak and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the time Comfort and Protest was completed, South Africa was in a declared state of emergency. Within the context of the ongoing struggle in his country, Allan Boesak has written a powerful and urgent commentary on the Book of Revelation. He provides scriptural and historical interpretations, emphasizing that the drama which unfolds in the Apocalypse is played out in history whenever a political ruler claims the allegiance that belongs to God alone. Amid persecution and temptations to despair, Boesak provides a message of hope. He sees that, in the Apocalypse, "John longs passionately for another day, another world. He feels it so keenly that he writes: "That day has come. The church shares this longing, for the tent of God to be among the people. This is what the church has lived and died for, worked and struggled for: justice and humanity and peace and fullness of life."

Book Synopsis African Theology by : Emmanuel Martey
Download or read book African Theology written by Emmanuel Martey and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two major strands of theology have developed in Africa--inculturation and liberation--each in response to different needs. Emmanuel Martey's African Theology provides a clear, scholarly examination of these two basic approaches, solidly based on Martey's understanding of contemporary theology and his firsthand knowledge of Africa.Martey first examines the historical background of each of these theological developments, especially relating to cultural and political movements enveloping the continent in the 1970s. In sub-Saharan Africa, struggles for independence from colonizers have resulted in inculturation theology. The defining aspect of this theology is that it pushes its roots firmly in African culture and traditions. In South Africa, on the other hand, Black Africans struggling against the oppressive systems of apartheid have turned to liberation theology.Martey shows how the real hope for African theology lies in the dialectical encounter between these two approaches and in their potential for convergence. "The two foci (of liberation and inculturation)," Martey says, "are not contradictory, but complement each other." African Theology concludes by challenging African theologians to weld together the praxis of inculturation with that of liberation, in order to achieve an integrative vision for the continent.
Download or read book African Cry written by Jean-Marc Ela and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2005-08-08 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'African Cry' is liberation theology with African content and original method--in short, a model of African liberation theology. Its translation into the English language is a big contribution to the corpus of literature on African liberation theology available to the English-speaking public. For those who are not already familiar with its French version, it provides a new dimension in African theology. The book is a must for all students of African theology."" --Justin S. Ukpong, Catholic Institute of West Africa, Nigeria 'African Cry' is fundamentally a challenge to all who claim adherence to the Christian faith. It explores the Scriptures, particularly the Gospels, in the light of what passes for Christianity and Mission on the part of European and Caucasian thinking, attitudes, and behavior on the continent of Africa. The book is a magnificent presentation of the problems that the African and African-American have with the behavior and attitudes of Church people from the highest to the lowest levels. This book should be read by as many Christians as possible, and, above all, bishops, particularly European and American."" --Lawrence E. Lucas, author of 'Black Priest/White Church' 'African Cry' shatters the self-censorship of sub-Saharan African theologians on political-economic issues while retaining their deep concern for cultural liberation. It is now impossible to discuss African theology without reference to Ela."" --Marie Giblin, Associate Professor of Theology, Xavier University A vigorous, frank, and uncompromising series of essays by a young, rural-based Cameroonian priest. The stress is on the interrelatedness of inculturation, liberation, and authenticity. The cry is for the right to be different. A superb example of the strongly-felt anguish of committed African priests for a church at once credible and rooted in reality."" --Simon E. Smith, SJ, former Coordinator of the Jesuit Refugee Service in Africa Jean-Marc Ela is a Cameroonian theologian. He is also the author of 'My Faith as an African.'

Book Synopsis My Faith as an African by : Jean-Marc Ela
Download or read book My Faith as an African written by Jean-Marc Ela and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when Africans, like other peoples, are facing the shock of technological and cultural modernity, liberation of the oppressed must be the primary condition for an authentic inculturation of the Christian message. This is the central axis of the papers in this book, which begins with the questions of faith posed by cultural variables, an internal dimension of the African's condition. In order to understand what is at stake, we need to place these matters in the overall context of a society and a history marked by conflicts-which lead to a rereading of our African memory. The basic issue of the Credibility of Christianity is being raised from with in the dynamic which allows Africans to escape from the inhumanity of the destiny to which certain factors would condemn them. So critical reflection on the relevance of an African Christianity requires us to identify the structures or strategies of exploitation and impoverishment against which Africans have always struggled, finding their own specific forms of resistance within their cultures.

Book Synopsis Exploring Afro-Christology by : John Samuel Pobee
Download or read book Exploring Afro-Christology written by John Samuel Pobee and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1992 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomenal growth and vitality of Christianity in Africa is an accepted fact now. They are breaking out of their North Atlantic origins and seeking a new identity. Christology stands at the heart of the quest. Africans have met the Christ and are here seeking to articulate that encounter in diverse ways, reflecting the pluriformity and diversity of Africa. These grew out of an ecumenical encounter on the theme of Christology in Africa today. Another bonus was that Africans of the Diaspora, namely the USA and West Indies, were let in on the debate.

Book Synopsis Emancipation in African Theology by : Fon Victor Wan-Tatah
Download or read book Emancipation in African Theology written by Fon Victor Wan-Tatah and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1989 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book considers methodological, theological and philosophical implications of an African liberation theology. The affirmation of the need for African theology which resembles that of Latin America by the conference of Third World Theologians some ten years ago in Ghana, failed to identify certain cultural and historical differences that make Africa unique. Dr. Wan-Tatah insists that African theologians must be critical of concepts and assumptions that undermine an authentic African theology of emancipation. Emancipation here merely begins with Western lambasting, followed by a thorough-going evaluation of African ecclesiastical and political systems.
