Charismatic Renewal and Pentecostalism

Theology

Foreword

“Nkwocha effortlessly guides the reader through the experiential and praxis-oriented theology of Pentecostalism (the fastest growing movement in African Christianity) and the charismatic renewal (the popular way of encountering God as Spirit in Catholicism). Nkwocha’s grasp of the literature is stunning. He successfully connects the Nigerian experience of Pentecostalism and charismatic renewal to the Bible, history, and world Christianity. This book is a must-read for pastors, theologians, and students of Pentecostalism and the charismatic movement.”

Mission to Kilimanjaro

Evangelism & Missions

“Fascinating narrative, picturesque description of Kilimanjaro, ‘House of God!’ Profoundly attentive to fauna and flora. Le Roy as counselor, statistician, shaman, and linguist-preacher draws the reader into the ‘vast amphitheater,’ ‘an exhibition of a very wide variety of the plants which the Creator has shown on earth.’”

Theology as Construction of Piety

Theology

“In Theology as Construction of Piety Ngong presents a fascinating book that interrogates and complements African inculturation and liberation theologies. By opting for the 'ethics of theology' Ngong puts his finger on the 'more' that is required of African theologies and describes the 'future' of Christian theology in the continent of Africa. . . . This scientific approach is consonant with the unique Christian narrative and the flexible indigenous African world-vision.”

Toward an African Theology of Fraternal Solidarity

Theology

“Okafor's 'hermeneutic torchlight' foregrounds indigenous idioms and narratives captured by Ọ nụrụ ube nwanne agbala ọsọ, unflinching solidarity. He throws new light on contextual theology and offers creative exchange between liberation and solidarity: the demands of justice tango with the command of love. . . . The Nwanne (brother-sister) idiom transforms into Christian theological root metaphor, reinterprets Christ and church, family loyalty and love that excludes no one, blood relationship that melts into family of God, philia that founds agape. The young and old, ordinary readers, native speakers, and foreigners will appreciate the pastoral priority of solidarity in the pages of this book.”
