The question of Africa’s religiosity along with the entry of secularization in African public sphere continues to generate heated debates among researchers in various disciplines. Rarely however is this question explored specifically in relation to the discipleship models adopted by the African church. In a recently published book coedited by Benno van den Toren, Joseph Bosco Bangura and Richard E. Seed, Is Africa Incurably Religious? Secularization and Discipleship in Africa, this question is explored.
Established in 2003, Global Missiology is an open access e-journal that facilitates the widest availability possible of crucial resources and scholarship on/about mission produced by researchers who are working in the field. Global Missiology - English is one of several language versions, each with its own unique contents. Researchers from around the world are invited to submit their work for possible publication at GM-E. By making critical research scholarship in the discipline of missiology and its related cognates freely accessible to researchers around the world, Global Missiology – English is a useful meeting point for researchers, teachers and students working in the field.
