Born from Lament

Theology

“A rich ethnographic and theological analysis. . . . Born from Lament is a refreshing political theology grounded in human practices rather than the sovereignty of the state and its rulers. This compelling invitation to rethink the theology of hope should be on everyone's reading list.”

Competing for Caesar

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This is outstanding book that offers critical interdisciplinary studies on the multidimensional implications of the marriage of church and state in Zambia following the declaration established the country a Christian nation. These essays are a major contribution to the literature on religion and politics in Zambia as well as studies in world Christianity.”

Ethnic Diversity, National Unity

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This timely text critically probes ethnic diversity and national unity in Ethiopia, one of Africa’s oldest nation-states, by critically analyzing political crises, explores the idea of unity in diversity, and invites readers to think about the self and the other in a common national space in light of a moral vision that promotes coexistence. This interdisciplinary text draws insights from history, law, ethics, scriptural studies, moral and political theology. I highly recommend this because it offers excellent perspectives on the quest for harmony.”

Inside the Whirlwind

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Carter's Inside the Whirlwind is a tour de force. It is a rich ethnographic and critical contextual reading of Job in Equatorial Guinea when the message of Job resonates fully as Africans and faith communities battle HIV/AIDS. Job's story comforts and challenges stigmatization. This is an extremely valuable resource for contextual studies.”

The Pentecostal Principle

Theology

“A bold exercise in philosophical theology in the tradition of Paul Tillich. . . . Wariboko invites the reader to join a critical dialogue about ethical methodology that is grounded in pluralism, Pentecostal modes of being, and experience of life and spirituality as play. This book comes at a time when there is a real hunger for critical dialogue with Pentecostal scholars. Anyone interested in ethics and the ecclesial community should read it.”

Theology as Construction of Piety

Theology

“This is a refreshing, readable, and 'a must read' theological perspective constructed in dialogue with a fascinating cast of theological and ethical voices of our time.”
