Rethinking life : what the church can learn from Africa / [print] Emmanuel M. Kolini, Peter R. Holmes. - Milton Keynes, United Kingdom ; Colorado Springs, Colorado : Authentic, (c)2010. - 200 pages ; 22 cm
Part 1: Welcome to Africa Part 2: Understanding Africa Part 3: Old Testament, Africa, and the early church Part 4: When God brought us Redeemer Part 5: From Creator God to Redeemer
Africa past and present : an overview -- The human condition : are we the same the world over? African traditional religion -- Life in community -- Integrity, darkness, and life The Bible and African ideas -- Roman North Africa and the early church -- A call to missionary service in Africa God stepping into our world : the East African revival -- The impact of the East African revival What the Western church can learn from the African experience.
The harsh reality is that our Western perceptions of Africa have been tainted by many things as we tend to view this continent as mystical, dark, complex, traumatized, and even violent. Perhaps it is time to take a fresh look at our existing stereotypes, to examine what God has done and is now doing in Africa, in order to see what we in the West might learn from the fastest growing church in the world.
