Download or read book African Initiated Christianity and the Decolonisation of Development written by Philipp Öhlmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the substantial and growing contribution which African Independent and Pentecostal Churches are making to sustainable development in all its manifold forms. Moreover, this volume seeks to elucidate how these churches reshape the very notion of sustainable development and contribute to the decolonisation of development. Fostering both overarching and comparative perspectives, the book includes chapters on West Africa (Nigeria, Ghana, and Burkina Faso) and Southern Africa (Zimbabwe and South Africa). It aims to open up a subfield focused on African Initiated Christianity within the religion and development discourse, substantially broadening the scope of the existing literature. Written predominantly by scholars from the African continent, the chapters in this volume illuminate potentials and perspectives of African Initiated Christianity, combining theoretical contributions, essays by renowned church leaders, and case studies focusing on particular churches or regional contexts. While the contributions in this book focus on the African continent, the notion of development underlying the concept of the volume is deliberately wide and multidimensional, covering economic, social, ecological, political, and cultural dimensions. Therefore, the book will be useful for the community of scholars interested in religion and development as well as researchers within African studies, anthropology, development studies, political science, religious studies, sociology of religion, and theology. It will also be a key resource for development policymakers and practitioners.

Download or read book New Fiction in English from Africa West East and South written by André Viola and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-05-20 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term 'recent' or 'new' covers novels and some short fiction published between 1980 and 1995, a period characterized by growing pessimism about the state of affairs in both East and West Africa. The section on South Africa deals more narrowly with the 1985-95 watershed marking the end of official apartheid and the beginning of reconstruction. The three sections aim at giving a coherent picture of the main directions in production, highlighting three main centres of interest, Nigeria, Kenya, and the Republic of South Africa, although some novelists from neighbouring countries are also considered (such as Kofi Awoonor from Ghana, Nuruddin Farah from Somalia, and M.G. Vassanji and Abdulrazak Gurnah from Tanzania). The evaluations conducted in the three sections lead to the emergence of a number of common themes, in particular the writers' predilection for topicality, the role of the past, and the controversy over the idea of the nation. Central themes also include the role of women in fending for themselves, both in rural and in urban environments. A further major theme is the role of the past (the Nigerian civil war; the Mau Mau period in Kenya; the revisiting of slavery; the refurbishing of myth; the questioning of historical reconstructions). The preoccupation of the West, East, and South African novel with the idea and ideal of the 'nation' is explored, particularly in the context of migrancy, hybridity, and transculturalism characterizing the anglophone diaspora. The volume is aimed at literary scholars and students and, more generally, readers of fiction seeking an introduction to contemporary literary developments in various parts of sub-Saharan anglophone Africa. No categorical distinction is drawn between 'popular' and 'high' literature. Though still selective and not intended as an exhaustive catalogue, the present survey covers a large number of titles. Rather than resorting to broad and ultimately somewhat abstract thematic categories, the contributors endeavour to keep control over this mass of material by applying a 'micro-thematic' taxonomy. This approach, well-tested in the tradition of literary studies within France, groups works analytically and evaluatively in terms of such categories as actional motifs, plot-frames, and sociologically relevant locations or topics, thereby enabling a clearer focus on the dynamics of preoccupation and tendency that form networks of affinity across the fiction produced in the period surveyed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "God has chosen to use people to advance His work by proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ in all the world. The continent of Africa has received the light of the Gospel through many such voices, including my parents, Drs. T.L. and Daisy Osborn. We traveled as a family of four, going from nation to nation, living among the people and working with local pastors to organize and conduct historic Mass Miracle Evangelism crusades. Our first time on the continent was in 1956. Many of the evangelists in Africa that have served through the decades are sons and daughters of my parents'' ministries. As you read this historic record of specific evangelists, you will be introduced to Africa - God''s Pacesetters that have impacted the nations of this great continent. Reading these stories allows the Holy Spirit to kindle a new or renewed passion for the work of evangelism in your heart, among your own people and beyond. If God can use these pacesetters He can use you. The purpose of this book is not to place Gospel messengers on unattainable pedestals; it is to invite you to join this company of faith, obedience and purpose, bringing people to the light and truth of Jesus Christ." Bishop Dr. LaDonna Osborn, (osborn.org) In Africa God''s Pacesetters: The Soul Winners, Eddie Sempala honours by documenting stories of faith of some of the men and women of God who have been involved in mass evangelism in Africa over the years and have won many souls to the Kingdom of Heaven for God''s glory. Benson Idahosa, as a young man heard his pastor preach that all things are possible to those that believe. After service, he moved all over Benin, from house to house asking whether there was a dead person he could pray for to resurrect. The Osborns, known for their open air meetings in Africa. You will realise that many of the outstanding African pastors have their roots in the ministry of the Osborns. When T.L Osborn died, he left his daughter, Dr. LaDonna Osborn in charge. She still does what her parents were doing. More than 150,000 churches have been established through their ministry. Enoch Adeboye, In 1975 he was ordained a pastor and after the death of Pastor Josiah, he started on his duty as the General Overseer to grow the church. It is estimated that the church has over 15 million members in Nigeria and over 28 million members worldwide. Reinhard Bonnke, as teenager, after he accepted Christ, he attended a Sunday service where during their preaching, he sensed God speaking to him that he would one day preach the gospel in Africa. In 1967 he arrived in South Africa with his wife, Anni. He has witnessed over 66 million souls coming to Christ in Africa around the world. Angus Buchan, the farmer evangelist who in the early years of ministry wanted to organise and evangelistic campaign but was turned down by the local pastors whom he first contacted. Teresa Wairimu, the evangelist who longed to be prayed for to receive an impartation from Reinhard Bonnke and followed him upto Norway. She received the impartation later on. She is known for the big crusades in Uhuru Park and also for her gift of prophesy. Rev. Teresa has set a standard that women can also be used greatly by God in mass evangelism. David Oyedepo, before starting the church, he read 39 biographies of outstanding ministries, discovering how great ministries are run, acquiring sound knowledge and thinking for running a great ministry. In 1984, when the membership of his church was still under forty, he inquired of the Lord in a 3-day prayer and fasting "Why is this church not growing?" Robert Kayanja, as a young pastor in a war torn country, God used him to awaken the nation of Uganda to the power of God. It will be unfair to talk about revival in Uganda and you don''t mention his name. He longed to meet with T.L Osborn and miraculously interpreted for him when he came to Uganda.

Download or read book Son of Joseph written by Uyioghosa Clement Omoruyi and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-06-15 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The children of Israel's path to reconciliation with their lost brother - Joseph - began at the same time they did away with him. This is a path riddled with jealousy, bitterness, rage and betrayal. However, it is equally a path filled with undying love, longing, confession, forgiveness, reconciliation, restoration, peace, blessings and a new beginning. Whereas, the children of Israel reviled Joseph earlier; this time, they truly feared and revered Zaph'-nath-pa-a-ne'-ah. Unknown to them, this rejected and murdered prince still oversees all their deliberations ... However, If the sons of Jacob had not rejected their brother, As-e-nath may never have met her most beloved husband - Zaph'-nath-pa-a-ne-ah. Ma-nas'-seh and E'-phra-im would never have been born. In like manner, the rejection of the Son of Joseph also ensures that the Gentiles met her Christ; and the Gentile Church is born.
