A Critical Analysis of the Interpretation of the Doctrine of «Justification by Faith Alone» by the Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria, Gongola Dioce
ISBN: 9781433128059 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Within the context of the Lutheran Church in Nigeria, Gongola Diocese, this book examines the issues of the interpretation, transmission, and appropriation of the doctrine of justification by faith alone. Using contextualization as the main tool in this exploration, James J. Reynolds argues that intercultural communication holds the key to unlocking how effectively and appropriately these three engagements with theology are executed. The Lutheran church, and indeed most Protestant denominations, assert that justification by faith alone is the cardinal doctrine of Christianity....

Shepherds and Demons: A Study of Exorcism as Practised and Understood by Shepherds in the Malagasy Lutheran Church
ISBN: 9780820497174 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 410 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Malagasy revival movement, which started in 1894 and operates within the structure of the historical churches, continues to have a profound impact on Protestant church life. This book focuses on exorcism as practised and understood by the so-called shepherds (lay, unsalaried, consecrated church workers) and defines -exorcism- as the expulsion of demons and prayer with the laying on of hands. This study, with Malagasy actors at its centre, argues that exorcism constitutes a synthesis between the biblical message and the traditional Malagasy culture. The shepherds, who vehemently oppose...

Poverty in the Book of Proverbs: An African Transformational Hermeneutic of Proverbs on Poverty
ISBN: 9781433103278 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 381 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Western interpretations of poverty proverbs in the Old Testament Book of Proverbs have tended to see a status quo acceptance in the ancient texts, thus neglecting existential challenges of the poverty issue. In contrast, Lechion Peter Kimilike argues that African proverbial material on poverty may when used comparatively to interpret the corresponding Old Testament poverty proverbs create a more dynamic analysis. The author s new and thought-provoking interpretation suggests -an African transformational hermeneutic- that balances between the questions and methodology of the -global i.e.,...

A Reconciled Community of Suffering Disciples; Aspects of a Contextual Somali Ecclesiology
ISBN: 9781433123993 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Church members among the ethnic Somali population in the Horn of Africa constitute a culturally marginalized and persecuted minority. Despite more than a hundred years of Protestant missionary efforts, the growth of the church has remained slow and protracted. The very concept of -Somali Christian- accordingly continues to constitute a contradiction of terms in the mindset of most Somalis. Moreover, the few Christian congregations that have been established have most often remained unstable and in flux.

An Issue of Relevance: A Comparative Study of the Story of the Bleeding Woman (Mk 5: 25-34; MT 9:20-22; Lk 8:43-48) in North Atlantic and Afr
ISBN: 9780820469287 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. As the center of the Christian world has migrated south, especially into Sub-Saharan Africa, a growing and dynamic African biblical scholarship has emerged. Prominent among the texts that have grabbed the interest of African biblical scholars is the gospel story of -the woman with the flow of blood- (Mark 5:25-34; Matthew 9:20-22; Luke 8:43-48). This book compares traditional North Atlantic scholarship on this gospel story with the new insights of African biblical studies in order to test the contention that these two versions of biblical scholarship are substantially different. In...
