In the past six months, two important books have been published on 'the mafanikio gospel' or 'mafanikio theology'. One is by a theologian and missiologist from East Africa; the other is by a missiologist from Australia who served as a missionary in Tanzania from 2013-2023. Both see mafanikio theology as a positive development that challenges our understanding of the prosperity gospel.
SATS is proud to announce the 2026 full PhD scholarship and research and teaching internship for emerging African theologians interested in Applied Hermeneutics for African Realities. The opportunity includes a fully paid PhD scholarship, as well as research assistance and teaching experience.
