African Women and the Shame and Pain of Infertility

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Dr. Damasus Okoro’s book African Women and the Shame and Pain of Infertility embraces a problem which has plagued Igbo culture, the issue of childlessness. Utilizing multiple disciplines (science, African Traditional Religion, ethicists, theologians, and literature) and a comparative method, this book opens a conversation the author passionately thinks needs to be had within Igbo culture. . . . This book is important in several ways. It opens conversation about how a Christian might approach the oppression of couples who are childless, especially African Igbo women who overwhelming bear the burden of childlessness. The book also, and more importantly, argues for scholars and practitioners to pay attention to ethical principles and practices already evident in a culture. Imposing ethical principles from outside a culture does nothing more than contribute to the oppression of the people. I highly recommended African Women and the Shame and Pain of Infertility as a valuable partner for theologians, ethicists, and practitioners interested in contributing to the liberation of God’s people.”

This Voice in My Heart

History & Biography

“Gilbert Tuhabonye’s story is much more than a common account of the American immigrant: it is an improbable, soul-searching journey of faith that inspires others to seek the One who lives within the heart.”

Worship at a Crossroads

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Melinda Quivik has written an engaging book on the intersection of worship and race. This is sometimes a difficult topic to discuss; however, Quivik shares stories of her struggle to present liturgical theology from a Lutheran perspective and to include a diversity of ideas about worship. Her stories communicate the difficulties inherent in such a task. I commend Quivik for challenging the church, especially the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) to begin talking about a central dimension of what it means to worship.”
