Tithing in the Old Testament
ISBN: 9783838397436 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At the height of "prosperity" and "word of faith" theologies, material resources became a central issue in the contemporary Church in Africa. Opponents query the biblical basis, point to abuses such as the lifestyles of pastors, and allege the commercialization of the gospel. Dispensationalists query the case for tithing in the New Testament and the degree of reliance on the Old Testament where the situation might be different from ours. The impact has been to provide more resources for the Church and forestall the economic dependency on the West. So this book seeks to answer the questions...

Sensus Fidelium as a Locus for Theology
ISBN: 9783843352536 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Second Vatican Council in Lumen Gentium 12 teaches that in every believer there is a sense of faith or the sensus fidei which is given by the Spirit. The function of such sensus is to render the believer capable of penetrating the inner insights of the faith the result of which is a conspiratio of all the faithful in maters of faith and morals. The renewed appreciation of the sensus fidei of the faithful is not only an antidote to the polarization that crippled the relationship between the lay faithful and the pastors in the years before the council, but also opens the way for a further...

Challenges to Theology in Africa Today
ISBN: 9783843360913 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Catholic Churchs decision to exclude women from the ordination should not include playing active roles in other ministries. Pope Benedict XVI has stated that the ordination of women is a closed issue. He does have the power to allow their participation in the ordained ministry! It is interesting to note that when the 10th Lambeth Conference of the Anglican Communion held in London in 1997, officially allowed the ordination of women, the Catholic Church was quick to accept over 200 Anglican male chauvinists who chose to cross over to the catholic with their wives and children! We know from...

Theistic Humanism of African Philosophy
ISBN: 9783843354950 / Angielski / Miękka / 700 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work is a hermeneutic anatomy of the theistic overtones and humanistic undertones of African philosophy of culture. It shows that theism and humanism are not contradictions in African Philosophy; their synthesis generates a pragmatic African personhood, a unified human nature and world-view. Hence, Theistic Humanism, Theistic pansychism and Theistic animism form a transcendental unity of apperception and a prolegomena to future African metaphysics. This is one of Maduabuchi Dukor's four Great works, Magnum Opus, on African Philosophy which include: African Freedom, the Freedom of...

The Initiation and Social Sacraments
ISBN: 9783843371599 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The seven sacraments are ceremonies that point to what is sacred significant and important for Christians. They are special occasions for experiencing Gods saving presence. Thats what theologians mean when they say that sacraments are at the same time signs and instruments of Gods grace.If you learn more about the sacraments, you can celebrate them more fully. Among Christians, sacraments are said to derive from practices instituted by Jesus like the casting out of demons. There are seven sacraments of Roman Catholicism as codified by St. Thomas Aquinas and promulgated by the Council of...

Portrait of God in Saul's Rise and Rejection
ISBN: 9783843378659 / Angielski / Miękka / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It has long been taught in the church that Saul was rejected because of his disobedience to God. In recent literary studies on the First Book of Samuel, however, God is portrayed as malicious, hostile, ambiguous, or problematic, especially in Gods relation to King Saul. While agreeing that those pictures of God are an integral part of 1 Samuel, the author argues that those portrayals are mainly based on the representation of God by Prophet Samuel who is a fallible human being. Reading the text closely, she presents God as working in dynamic relation with humans, giving them room to...

Nonduality and Trinity
ISBN: 9783838317892 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study explores Asian ways of understanding the Christian doctrine of the Trinity presented by Jung Young Lee and Raymond Panikkar, who establish their respective trinitarian perspectives by means of Asian frameworks of nondualsim, i.e., the East Asian "yin-yang" conceptuality and the Hindu Vedantic notion of "advaita." In their respective trinitarian perspectives Lee and Panikkar attempt to reveal that the Trinity is not only a doctrine about God but also an underlying structure of all reality. This study compares the trinitarian accounts of Lee and Panikkar in their similarities and...

From the Holy Scriptures to Holy Images
ISBN: 9783838337807 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the beginning of Christianity, Christians have been faced with the ambiguous nature of "image" and the risk of idolatry. The iconoclasts (those who fought against the icons) stated that every image must be identical with its prototype; therefore, an icon is an idol since it pretends to be God. For the iconodules (those who venerate the icons) the icons are not idols because they are not consubstantial with or identical to their prototypes. The first part, of my book "Short history of icon" offers a brief overview of the history of the icons in the first seven...

Liberation and Reconstruction in Africa

K Mugambi, contributes to the ongoing debates in African Christian Theology, in the twenty-first century. It builds on Jesse Mugambi's post-Cold War proposal for a paradigm shift, from liberation to reconstruction. The book innovatively introduces a new idea of both minor and dominant paradigms operating simultaneously in theology and other social sciences. It has sought to show that Mugambi's idea of change in paradigmatic emphasis is largely authentic in so far as the global socio-economic trends and African...

Ethics and Morality from an African Perspective
ISBN: 9783843368919 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To do a course on ethics and morality one must start with a simple but complex question: "Are human beings capable of making moral choices without any form of legalised or codified morality"? In order to give a comprehensive answer to this question, scholars of ethics have tried to pose another fundamental question: What is ethics? What is the relationship between ethics and morality?Ethics or moral theology is not concerned with elucidation and justification of morality in a narrow sense.However it is clear that to assess peoples conduct as immoral or morally acceptable is to consider it...

African Hospitality from a Missiological Perspective
ISBN: 9783844300062 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. African Hospitality From a Missiological Perspective: Aiding Church and Societal Growth, explores the contribution of African Hospitality towards church growth in particular, and societal growth in general. It attributes the fast spread of Christianity in Africa to the generosity that was displayed by Africans to the early European missionaries in the 19th and 20th centuries. That is, they offered land and other resources, even though their hospitality was at times, misused and/or abused. It also attributes the hopelessness in Africa, as evidenced by massive poverty, bad governance,...

Analytical Comparative Study on Holy Spirit in New Testament
ISBN: 9783844302172 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The study and the application of the Holy Spirit have been very controversial all over the world. Watson comments: "In recent years the most lively debate within the Church has centred round the person and work of the Holy Spirit... The amazing development of the charismatic movement has thrilled some, angered others and puzzled still more." Specifically to Tanzania, in the mid years of 1980's, where the Pentecostal movement grew faster, two strange terms emerged: The churches with the Spirit" and the "The churches without the Spirit. The implicatures behind the terms relied on the issue of...

They examine African culture and demonstrate an...
