Title: Africa Bears Witness: Mission Theology and Praxis in the 21st Century
Editor: Harvey Kwiyani
Imprint: Langham Global Library
Description
This remarkable collection of essays explores the role of African Christianity in God’s mission around the world. Featuring the contributions of African scholars and mission practitioners from throughout sub-Saharan Africa and the diaspora – including both men and women, veteran scholars, and fresh new voices – this volume provides a diverse perspective on missiology as understood and practised by African Christians. Engaging such wide-ranging topics as gender violence, globalization, Westernization, peacebuilding, development, Pentecostalism, urban missiology, theological education, and African Christianity in Europe, this volume ambitiously bridges the gap between academic and practitioner perspectives, engaging both theological discourse and the hands-on reality of how God’s mission is taking shape in Africa and beyond. This book offers an empowering look at the work God is accomplishing inand through the African church.
Endorsements
What an extraordinary gift this book is. In a context where the prevailing perspectives on missiology, and indeed theology, are predominantly centred around Western assumptions, we are invited to heed to a retelling and foretelling of the church’s hope with African accentuation. This book is so refreshingly bold and intelligent that you find yourself convinced that there is life in the church yet.
