CHRIST`S HOSPITALITY FROM AN AFRICAN THEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

····· lezzter Preis 71.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This book re-examines Christ`s hospitality from an African perspective. It sets out on the premise that Christ is the ideal model of hospitality that African Christianity has to draw some vital lessons from - as Africa embarks on a theology of reconstruction, renewal, restoration, development, ecology and reconciliation. In its methodology, it traces the concept of hospitality from ancient to the present times and engages it with contemporary African concerns. The author is optimistic that even though Africa may be walking through the valley of darkness and death, there is no cause for alarm as Christ`s hospitality will manifest itself in all spheres of life, and thereby aid Africa to deliver the promise. To this end, a passionate appeal is made to the twenty-first century Africa: `Come on! Swim into action and address your own challenges` such as sexism, negative ethnicity, regionalism and xenophobia, violence, poverty, HIV and AIDS, hunger, corruption and all abuses of African hospitality in light of Christ`s ideal hospitality. ····· 10361113243

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The study and the application of the Holy Spirit have been very controversial all over the world. Watson comments: In recent years the most lively debate within the Church has centred round the person and work of the Holy Spirit The amazing development of the charismatic movement has thrilled some, angered others and puzzled still more . Specifically to Tanzania, in the mid years of 1980`s, where the Pentecostal movement grew faster, two strange terms emerged: The churches with the Spirit and the The churches without the Spirit. The implicatures behind the terms relied on the issue of the Holy Spirit. Originally, the terms initiated by the Pentecostals, meant that the Pentecostals regarded themselves as Churches with the Spirit and others including Protestants and Catholics were regarded as Churches without Spirit. From its analytical comparative study, this work intends to minimize and bridge the gap of understanding and application among different denominations on the subject. ····· 10361113144

A critical study of the impact of faith-healing

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Africans face challenges from the African Traditional worldview. These challenges come in the form of witchcraft, magic, infertility and certain life crisis. It is during these times of crisis that African Christianity faces a challenge from the African Traditional Religious world. Consequently, the African Initiated Churches including the Followers of Christ Church of God have identified this urgent need for the Christian Church in Africa. This thesis critically reflects on Faith-healing as practised by the African Initiated Churches. The proposal of the thesis points to the need for a theology of healing in Africa. There is an urgent need for a pastoral theology of care and counseling especially in times of crisis. The thesis does not attempt to judge the praxis and theology of the African Initiated Churches, but it rather highlights the existential needs of Africans. Furthermore, it is a provocative document which invites theologians, scholars, missiologist, church leaders and other religious practitioners for further research and exploration into the African religious cosmology. ····· 10361113136

AFRICAN HOSPITALITY FROM A MISSIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

····· lezzter Preis 61.20€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
African Hospitality From a Missiological Perspective: Aiding Church and Societal Growth, explores the contribution of African Hospitality towards church growth in particular, and societal growth in general. It attributes the fast spread of Christianity in Africa to the generosity that was displayed by Africans to the early European missionaries in the 19th and 20th centuries. That is, they offered land and other resources, even though their hospitality was at times, misused and/or abused. It also attributes the hopelessness in Africa, as evidenced by massive poverty, bad governance, starvation on a mass scale, for the failure to uphold hospitality strictly, as in line with the ideal African heritage and Biblical traditions on hospitality. It challenges the church to take a more active role in religio-social issues in order to help Africa to overcome her miseries. At the end of the book the author is deeply convinced that there is great hope for the African church and society in general. ····· 10361112946

LIBERATION AND RECONSTRUCTION IN AFRICA

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Liberation and Reconstruction in Africa: A Critical Analysis in the Works of J. N. K Mugambi, contributes to the ongoing debates in African Christian Theology, in the twenty-first century. It builds on Jesse Mugambi`s post-Cold War proposal for a paradigm shift, from liberation to reconstruction. The book innovatively introduces a new idea of both minor and dominant paradigms operating simultaneously in theology and other social sciences. It has sought to show that Mugambi`s idea of change in paradigmatic emphasis is largely authentic in so far as the global socio-economic trends and African cultural and religious heritage have their own forms of paradigm shifts,albeit in different formats. As a book that contributes to Africa`s theo-socio-economic developments, it will be useful to general readership, and in particular, teachers and students of theology,anthropology,Sociology, Philosophy, religion, comparative religion and other social sciences. It will also be useful to learners in seminaries, tertiary institutions and universities. If this book makes a major contribution to the modern scholarship, then these efforts will be for a worthwhile course. ····· 10361102729

The study reflects on the rise and spread of the African Independent Churches in postcolonial Africa. It moves from the perspective that African Independent Churches are both African and Christian (Masondo, 2005:101) engaged in detailed appropriations of religious resources that can be mobilized in working out the meaningful contours of the world (Chidester, 1997:11).The major part of the study focuses on the Lumpa Church of Alice Lenshina in Zambia.It traces the founding of the church based on a series of vision by Lenshina.Lenshina s message was styled along the same lines as that of John the Baptist. She put emphasis on the eradication of witchcraft and sorcery.Her message was expressed in Bemba hymns sung in traditional tunes and she encouraged the beating of drums.She preached against beer and polygamy and she called for Biblical Christianity.Her leadership style was that of a chiefly nature.The Lumpa Church had a huge impact on pastoral practices and modes of worship in the mainline churches.Alice Lenshina s teachings were responsible for the fall-out with the Zambian nationalist organization,United National Independence Party,which resulted in 700 people losing their lives. ····· 10361102471

GENDER, HIV AND AIDS AND AFRICAN TRADITIONAL RELIGION IN ZIMBABWE

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This book exposes the effects of HIV and AIDS on the traditional Ndau woman in Chipinge District in Zimbabwe. It emphasises how much the woman has sacrificed in providing care to PLWHA. Apart from examining this and other burdens that women carry, this project highlights how Ndau women in Chipinge have been key to the overall response to HIV and AIDS. This is achieved through application of cultural hermeneutics of the Ndau religion, the traditional religion of Chipinge. This book looks for liberating resources that can be tapped from folklores, myths and other forms of oral literature in Ndau religion. It argues for the silver lining in the dark cloud presented by some harmful cultural practices (HCPs) that present African Traditional Religions (ATRs) as oppressive and ruthless to women. In this book, I deliberate on how the roles of women should not be looked down upon, and why maleness should not be a means to power if the response to HIV and AIDS is to be effective. As such, this book provides a social framework on how such cultures and customs can be contextualised, reinterpreted, remodelled, adapted and adopted in the framework of HIV and AIDS. ····· 10361102446

Postcolonial `Redaction` of Social-economic parables in Luke`s Gospel

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Working with the texts` socio-historical and literary contexts, this book argues that Luke is influenced by the imperial setting of his day to provide the images that he does in the parables and the empire insensitive` language that he employs in writing the parables and his gospel. Further, and working with the Kenyan context and using the postcolonial elements of empire mimicry and hybridity, this book argues that Luke`s images and language are taken up by the upper and ruling class to re-member` the empire by marginalizing the poor hence widening the gap between the rich and the poor to insurmountable levels. ····· 10361102274

Portrait of God in Saul`s Rise and Rejection

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
It has long been taught in the church that Saul was rejected because of his disobedience to God. In recent literary studies on the First Book of Samuel, however, God is portrayed as malicious, hostile, ambiguous, or problematic, especially in God`s relation to King Saul. While agreeing that those pictures of God are an integral part of 1 Samuel, the author argues that those portrayals are mainly based on the representation of God by Prophet Samuel who is a fallible human being. Reading the text closely, she presents God as working in dynamic relation with humans, giving them room to exercise their freedom and holding them accountable. She delves into cases where human interests enter the picture to deflect God`s intention. Her reading shows how human action or inaction affects and sometimes distorts the divine portrait. This book will help both the theologically conservative and the liberal readers who want to ponder on the ways in which God operates in the history and on the parts humans play. ····· 10361101555

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SHONA AND CHRISTIAN ATTITUDES TO NATURE

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Nature as an inter-religious issue has gained momentum over the last few years.This is a good sign because it reiterates the view that the global environmental crisis is fundamentally a moral and religious problem. We must investigate what different religions have to say to one another today that may clarify what it means to have a proper respect for the earth in our personal and social and economic choices. This book deals with a critical comparative correlational dialogue between Shona and Christian attitudes to nature.It examines the nature of conflict, criticism and complementarity between the two religions.It makes a case that the attitudes to nature of these religions can best complement each other in the framework of eco-spirituality as a minimum common ground. In this framework there is a possibility of an environmental ethic based on the intrinsic value of nature that traditional Shona adherents and Christians can share.The book`s argument is that whereas Christianity, because it seems to be already saturated with, and acculturated to the dominant ideology of science can help provide a clearer vision of Shona attitudes to nature consistent with religious environmentalism. ····· 10361101554

PINNACLE OF DECEIT

We live in perilous times where Christianity is emerging with occultism and eastern mysticism. Many Christian leaders are talking of re-thinking Christianity so that it is in tandem with other religious beliefs. This is being done under the semantics of peace, love, and unity but underneath it involves a fundamental denial of truth. Many evangelical leaders are confidently taking the broad way to Rome and are swaying other Christians to follow suit. Thousands of Christians have embraced experience based Christianity where emotions and experiences take precedent over the holy word of God. The church of the Lord Jesus Christ has been turned into a den of thieves, Wolves and profit makers. Many Christians have forsaken their first love Jesus Christ and have gone whoring after mammon and quick miracles. In short, Christianity has become a den of zombies,heretics and hypocrites.

EVIDENTIALISM AND THE RATIONALITY OF RELIGIOUS BELIEF

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Evidentialism has been one of the prominent epistemological approaches to the rationality of belief since the time of the Enlightenment. It maintains that a belief ought to be based on sufficient evidence in order to be rationally acceptable. Some evidentialist critics of theism contend that there is not sufficient evidence for belief in God to be rationally justified. While the typical response from theists is to attempt to provide sufficient evidence to justify belief in God, some philosophers of religion have attempted to undercut this debate by showing that belief in God is a properly basic belief, requiring no further evidence or argument for it to be rationally justified. The purpose of this book, therefore, is to examine the evidentialist challenge to the rationality of religious belief, particularly belief in God, then offer an internalist model of immediate knowledge of God through knowledge by presence. This model is the best explanation of how an immediate knowledge of God can be justified epistemically, and seems more effective epistemically than other approaches to the rationality of belief in God. ····· 10361100853

African Knowing and Biblical Interpretation

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
A study of the history of biblical interpretation will show that prevailing philosophies of knowledge have always played a critical role in the articulated or unarticulated principles that have governed biblical interpretation in various ages. The principles that govern the forms of biblical interpretation taught in most formal Christian theological institutions in Africa are those rooted in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries` Modern Missionary Movement and its philosophical framework, the Enlightenment. Postmodern critique of Modernity has provided academic space for other epistemological frameworks to be the basis on which societies other than those in the West engage with the Bible. In this book, Bantu epistemology, in as far as it is possible to articulate it, forms the basis for engaging the Bible and biblical exegesis. ····· 10361100850

Ethics and Morality from an African Perspective

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
To do a course on ethics and morality one must start with a simple but complex question: `Are human beings capable of making moral choices without any form of legalised or codified morality` In order to give a comprehensive answer to this question, scholars of ethics have tried to pose another fundamental question: What is ethics What is the relationship between ethics and morality Ethics or moral theology is not concerned with elucidation and justification of morality in a narrow sense.However it is clear that to assess people``s conduct as immoral or morally acceptable is to consider it from one point of view and not the only possible way of assessing the human act.In the study of moral theology we concern ourselves generally with questions about how we ought to live, what could count as good, reasons for acting in one way rather than another.We also consider what constitute a good life for human beings meaning thereby not necessarily morally good but treating as an open question where would be the proper place for morality for the good life or whether indeed it has any place there at all.The book is good to students and lecturers of ethics, morality, theology and philosophy. ····· 10361100647

Status of Women Ascetics in Jaina and Buddhist (Sramana) Traditions

In the context of Indian thought, freedom is primarily taken to mean freedom from suffering or duhkha arising out of ignorance. The common view held by all Indian thinkers is that ignorance of reality is the cause of our bondage and suffering. Moksha is regarded as the highest purushartha or goal of life. Jain and Buddhist religion have made a major impact on society through the path which leads to the cessation of suffering or which leads towards the liberation. There is a problem of the relation between women and spiritual liberation. This work examines the assumptions and the implications of this problem in detail.

Practicing Islam without having learnt from Authentic Islamic Scholars cause malpractices (Biddaat) in the Deen. It is very important to know the basic spirit of the commandments and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad SAWM so as to practice religion in its true perspective. The most disgusting outcome is the stubborn attitude of certain followers leading to the formation of different sects that have no place in religion. Prophet SAWM said that there would be 73 sects among my Ummah. Among these there would be only one that will be going to Jannah. In this book very selective topics have been touched. This effort has taken into account certain neglected practices among Muslims. Thus rightly, an effort to reform the malpractices in religion.
