African Literacies and Western Oralities?

Evangelism & Missions

“In this book, William Asbury Coppedge has made significant contribution to the study of missions in the twenty-first century. He provides very clear analysis of the tension between Protestant evangelical commitment to the literary text and the personal and oral embodiment of the message of the gospel in the communication process. . . . As an insider, he has capably demonstrated in this research how Orality Movement’s approach has worked well through storytelling and narratives in improving Bible literacy and discipleship for members of the Africa Gospel Church in Uganda. I highly recommend this work for readership by seminarians, missions theorists and practitioners, church and mission leaders, Bible scholars, and those interested in studies in global Christianity.”

Holiness

Theology

“The quest for Christian perfection in the twenty-first century is as fresh as it was in biblical history. These distinguished Wesleyan scholars have given a detailed biblical, historical, and systematic theological witness to the doctrine of entire sanctification. The authors provide a serious case for the 'middle way,' or a new appeal for the message that so distinguishes biblical Christianity. Their ability to trace the witness to holiness in every segment of the Bible and in divergent historic Christian traditions endears this book to a wide readership. This is an extremely important resource for those seeking deeper Christian experience and for those seeking deeper theological appreciation of entire sanctification as a biblical truth.”
