Christianity and Social Change in Contemporary Africa: Volume One
Author: B. Nyamnjoh
Publisher: African Books Collective
ISBN: 9956551406
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
This volume brings together seven empirically grounded contributions by African social scientists of different disciplinary backgrounds. The authors explore the social impact of religious innovation and competition in present day Africa. They represent a selection from an interdisciplinary initiative that made 23 research grants for theologians and social scientists to study Christianity and social change in contemporary Africa. These contributions focus on a variety of dynamics in contemporary African religion (mostly Christianity), including gender, health and healing, social media, entrepreneurship, and inter-religious borrowing and accommodation. The volume seeks to enhance understanding of religions vital presence and power in contemporary Africa. It reveals problems as well as possibilities, notably some ethical concerns and psychological maladies that arise in some of these new movements, notably neo-Pentecostal and militant fundamentalist groups. Yet the contributions do not fixate on African problems and victimization. Instead, they explore sources of African creativity, resiliency and agency. The book calls on scholars of religion and religiosity in Africa to invest new conceptual and methodological energy in understanding what it means to be actively religious in Africa today.

Betrayal of Jesus
Author: Davis D Danizier

ISBN: 9780944363072
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
This book presents thought-provoking questions and challenges facing modern Christianity in the 21st Century. Raises questions about the "infallibility" of the Bible and some of the core beliefs of Christians today. Demonstrates how the teachings attributed to Jesus are in stark contradiction to those of the Apostle Paul, whose teachings became the basis of Christianity that are very different from what is ascribed to the legendary figure of Jesus. Has special sections addressing issues for evangelical Protestants, Catholics and Mormons. Also addresses the role of Christianity and its involvement in modern cultural and political issues. Extensive documentation and references.
