Christian Faith and Cultural Justice

Zusatztext

Christian Faith and Cultural Justice is a systematic study of Pentecostalism and culture in Zimbabwe. This timely and well-researched book is a welcome addition to the literature on Christian attitudes on cultural practices. It offers three things rarely found in a single volume; solid foundation of the Apostolic Faith Mission, the erosion of cultural practices and a call for a moratorium as a solution for cultural transgressions in the country. The book is written a Christian perspective touching on theological issues such as Christology, African theology, evangelism, spiritual gifts, culture, indigenization, inculturation, adaptation, contextualization and moratorium. It adds a new dimension to the understanding of the need for recognizing African culture as a cause for moratorium. It is a prescription and vision of hope for cultural justice of our time.
