African Hermeneutics
Interpretation of Scripture occurs within one’s worldview and culture, which enhances our understanding and ability to apply Scripture in the world. However, few books address Bible interpretation from an African perspective and no other textbook uses the intercultural approach found here. This book brings both an awareness of how one’s African context gives a lens to hermeneutics, but also how to interpret texts with integrity despite our cultural influences.
Celebrating the Lord’s Supper: Ending...
Africa is suffering a severe famine – a famine for the Lord's Supper. Many Christians have forgotten or have never known the nourishment this spiritual feast brings. In this book, Kalengyo pleads on behalf of those who are suffering. He identifies the ecclesiastical and economic reasons for the famine and suggests how they may be alleviated. Kalengyo also urges African churches to draw on the continent’s rich, ancient cultural heritage when celebrating the Lord’s Supper to fully appreciate this biblical feast.
Stewards of Power: Restoring Africa’s...
In Stewards of Power: Restoring African Dignity, Dwight Mutonono identifies the leadership problems plaguing the continent of Africa and appeals for good leadership in the style of the biblical Joseph rather than the xenophobic, self-centred style exemplified by Jonah. He offers practical suggestions for how African Christians can reject sycophancy and demand accountability from their leaders. This is a prerequisite for restoring Africa’s dignity with a clarion call for integrity and righteousness at a personal, institutional and national level.
Preaching the Scriptures
The African church needs preachers who preach the Scriptures to bring people to Christ and nurture them in faith. Yet many are failing at this task. Some use their sermons to promote themselves rather than Christ, while others do not know how to preach from the Scriptures. In this book Biwul addresses these problems. Using African stories and illustrations, he clearly sets out the process of preparing and delivering a sermon rooted in the Scriptures.
No More Cheeks to Turn?

The questions he asks throughout are intended to help Christians understand the practical implications of a Christ-centred theological response to violence.

Brief Summary
Dr. Katho offers a study that is both accessible and deeply relevant to the particularities of an African context. In a series of ten selected passages, Dr. Katho demonstrates the many parallels between Jeremiah’s Judah and a continent that continues to experience the complex and devastating realities of poverty, injustice, and war. It is a book of hope, and Katho, like Jeremiah, dares to dream past the present and into a future where God is known and humans flourish.

Brief Summary
Francinah Baloyi was sixteen when the ancestors demanded that she continue the family tradition and be trained as a sangoma, one through whom the spirits would speak.

Today, she is a powerful preacher, who has led many to Christ. Her story challenges the syncretism threatening the church in Africa.
