Dear ATW users, dear friends,
For many Christians who follow the western (Latin) calendar of the church, the period of Lent which began a little over a month ago will end today, Friday 15th April. Celebrated as Good Friday, the church marks the vicarious death of Christ at the hands of his own people in the first century. This event will be followed by Easter, when the church celebrates the resurrection of Christ from the dead.
ATW announces an exciting position at Calvin University’s Nagel Institute.
Brill recently released an open access publication titled - Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity in a Global Context.
Christianity, like many of Africa’s indigenous and other religions, is a religion of sacrifice. At the heart of the Christian gospel is the message of God who sacrifices his only begotten son for the forgiveness of human sin. Therefore, at conversion, African Christians who have found salvation in the cross of Christ, seek ways by which they can understand the meaning of Christ’s sacrificial and vicarious death on a cross.
