  • African Catholic Priests: Confronting an Identity Problem

    2010, author(s)-editor(s) Jordan Nyenyembe
    This is a timely book on the contemporary African priesthood. Just as in other parts of the globe, the African priesthood currently faces a serious crisis of identity. The unfolding crisis puts stress on the clerics and augments the tension with lay people. The model of the Church-as-Family of God opted for by the Church in Africa is a new milestone that puts pressure on Catholic priests to define their role in the new context. The identity and image of priests need to be specified as lay (...)

  • The Dynamics and Contradictions of Evangelisation in Africa: An essay on the Kom experience

    2010, author(s)-editor(s) Peter Acho Awoh
    This book critically discusses missionary Christianity and colonization in Africa as twin enterprises with a common ambition. While the colonialist set out to invest capital and reap profit, the missionary desire was to tend and turn African souls from damnation. It was this desire that drove the missionaries into the interior, propelled by the belief that no land was too remote to escape their attention and vigilance. It equally kept missionary zeal buoyant. The clarification of the (...)

  • Where are you Africa?: Church and Society in the Mobile Phone Age

    2010, author(s)-editor(s) Castor Goliama
    This is an original and innovative study of mobile phones in Africa from a theological perspective. The First and the Second Special Assemblies for Africa of the Synod of Bishops, held in Rome in 1994 and 2009 respectively, made an urgent appeal to the Church in Africa to employ various media forms of social communications for evangelization and the promotion of justice and peace. Evidently, electronic media are now increasingly used for evangelization across Africa. The proliferation of (...)

  • Valeurs religieuses et développement durable: Une approche d’ananlyse des institutions des Bamiléké du Cameroun

    2010, author(s)-editor(s) Célestine Colette Fouellefak Kana
    Notre ouvrage veut répondre à la question fondamentale de restituer la véritable nature des valeurs africaines et plus spécifiquement bamiléké, occultées lors de la rencontre entre Occident chrétien et monde noir dit animiste. Cette tâche est imposée par le malaise que certains chrétiens africains vivent dans l’Eglise. Elle est rendue nécessaire et urgente par le sentiment d’échec de la première évangélisation qui s’est avérée incapable d’enraciner le message de Dieu dans les croyances religieuses (...)

  • Si Dieu était tout un chacun de nous?

    2008, author(s)-editor(s) Samuel Ebelle Kingue
    If Each One Of Us Would Be God? Is a hypothesis that rejects the logic of religious institutions with their ability to limit the evolution of human consciousness, since the reality of our existence within religions is defined as fixed. If each one of us would be God, we would return into the deepness of our absolute consciousness and be in contact with our true selves. This challenging statement awakens the conscious deadening of a Supreme human being, as the search for our spiritual (...)
