Women

“The cry for equality in the midst of existing inequalities is worldwide. Lyimo's book contributes to the search for equality in the midst of inequalities in terms of gender within the patriarchal Chagga society. By the use of Third-Wave and empowerment theories, Lyimo has proved that Ushirika wa Neema Deaconess empowers women to recognize their socially unrecognized roles and potentials. This book is worthy reading by anyone interested in gender related studies.”

Jesus, the Best Capernaum Folk-Healer

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Dr. Zorodzai Dube has successfully demonstrated that the aretalogy of Jesus as a heroic Capernaum folk-healer in Mark’s healing stories is analogous to the healing paean and dances associated with heroic gods of the ancient Greco-Roman world. In so doing, he paves a way for the possibility of reading Mark’s healing stories in light of African contexts of praise-giving performance. The book is an important resource for scholars and students of healing in the New Testament, early Christianity, and African contexts.”

The Gospel of Mark and the Roman-Jewish War of 66–70 CE

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In a carefully organized way, Kimondo’s book has successfully made a contrast between the violent and pompous Vespasian military campaigns and entrances in cities, that were celebrated to be ‘good news’, as depicted by Josephus, and the redemptive, non-violent good news without splendor associated with the onset of God’s empire, based on the proclamation, teachings, and redemptive deeds of Jesus as depicted by Mark’s gospel. This book is well-presented, insightful, and worth the read of any New Testament scholar interested in studies of the early church.”
