Historical and Social Dimensions in African Christian Theology

Historical and Social Dimensions in African Christian Theology

African Christian theology has been developing for the last four decades. The trend has been to focus on traditional African religions as a foundation for Christian theology. While acknowledging the importance of African traditional religions to Christian theology in Africa, this study argues that African history progressively changes, and it is these changed and changing circumstances that theology is to address. This work analyzes issues affecting Africa today and shows the social and political role that Christianity has to play in an African context. This study views enculturation as a dialogue among African Christians, their history and culture, and Christian teachings. Theological approaches such as anthropological, liberation, and historical are analyzed from the perspective of Small Christian Communities (SCCs), which are a recent development in African Christianity. SCCs are presented as a concrete hermeneutical tool in theological analyses. Further, this work acknowledges the indispensable need for an authentic African Christology in an African Christian theology. While critical of contemporary African Christology, the study also suggests issues to be considered in the development of African Christology. Wilson Muoha Maina is Assistant Professor of philosophy and religious studies at the University of West Florida. He has authored several journal articles on African Christian ethics and theology.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author, "a brilliant biography"* of the 28th president of the United States. *Doris Kearns Goodwin One hundred years after his inauguration, Woodrow Wilson still stands as one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century, and one of the most enigmatic. And now, after more than a decade of research and writing, Pulitzer Prize-winning author A. Scott Berg has completed Wilson--the most personal and penetrating biography ever written about the twenty-eighth President. In addition to the hundreds of thousands of documents in the Wilson Archives, Berg was the first biographer to gain access to two recently discovered caches of papers belonging to those close to Wilson. From this material, Berg was able to add countless details--even several unknown events--that fill in missing pieces of Wilson's character, and cast new light on his entire life. From the visionary Princeton professor who constructed a model for higher education in America to the architect of the ill-fated League of Nations, from the devout Commander in Chief who ushered the country through its first great World War to the widower of intense passion and turbulence who wooed a second wife with hundreds of astonishing love letters, from the idealist determined to make the world "safe for democracy" to the stroke-crippled leader whose incapacity--and the subterfuges around it--were among the century's greatest secrets, from the trailblazer whose ideas paved the way for the New Deal and the Progressive administrations that followed to the politician whose partisan battles with his opponents left him a broken man, and ultimately, a tragic figure--this is a book at once magisterial and deeply emotional about the whole of Wilson's life, accomplishments, and failings. This is not just Wilson the icon--but Wilson the man. INCLUDES PHOTOGRAPHS

A literary jeu d'esprit, a modern-day Tristram Shandy, a hilarious satire on false scholarship, Wilson is David Mamet at his best and most mischievous. When the internet - and the collective memory of the twenty-first century - crashes, the past is reassembled from the downloaded memories of Ginger, wife of ex-President Wilson. The transcripts take the reader on an intellectually breathtaking tour. In Mamet's baroque, fragmented world, nothing is certain except the certainty of academics. His customary bilious playfulness has created a trompe l'oeil for the mind's eye. In playing with the ideas of perception, understanding, accuracy, he dares to doubt them all.

AN ORIGINAL GRAPHIC NOVEL FROM THE OSCAR-NOMINATED SCREENWRITER AND AWARD-WINNING CARTOONIST Meet Wilson, an opinionated middle-aged loner who loves his dog and quite possibly no one else. In an ongoing quest to find human connection, he badgers friend and stranger alike into a series of onesided conversations, punctuating his own lofty discursions with a brutally honest, self-negating sense of humor. After his father dies, Wilson, now irrevocably alone, sets out to find his ex-wife with the hope of rekindling their long-dead relationship, and discovers he has a teenage daughter, born after the marriage ended and given up for adoption.Wilson eventually forces all three to reconnect as a family--a doomed mission that will surely, inevitably backfire. In the first all-new graphic novel from one of the leading cartoonists of our time, Daniel Clowes creates a thoroughly engaging, complex, and fascinating portrait of the modern egoist--outspoken and oblivious to the world around him.Working in a single-page-gag format and drawing in a spectrumof styles, the cartoonist of GhostWorld, Ice Haven, and David Boring gives us his funniest and most deeply affecting novel to date.

Harold Wilson held out the promise of technology and of 'the Britain that is going to be forged in the white heat of this revolution'. A balance of payment crisis, leading to devaluation in 1967, frustrated the fulfilment of his prime ministerial promises. Meanwhile foreign affairs were dominated by the issue of Rhodesia, in which Wilson took a personal initiative in diplomacy with Ian Smith but failed to make any progress.

WILSON ER en godhjertet døgenikt, en ensom ungkar, en god ektemann og far, en idiot. en sosiopat, en besserwisser med vrangforestillinger, en skjør blomst, 100% Wilson. Alexander Payne skal regissere filmversjonen av WILSON: «I've been inspired all my life by silent comedies, and I think this middle-aged guy who has made all the wrong decisions is my comic archetype. We're all trying to wake up in this brief flash of life on this planet, unless we're complete idiots, and I root for these characters to grow and wake up, the way I root for myself to grow and wake up.» Alexander Payne På norsk av Daniel Clowes: Den prisbelønte og filmatiserte «Ghost world» og «Som en silkehanske støpt i jern». Clowes had mottatt flere priser, bl.a PEN Center USA Literary Award «honoring his Outstanding Body of Work in Graphic Lit». «Daniel Clowes has explored the tedium and mystery of contemporary American life with more wit and insight than most novelists or filmmakers.» New York Times «For those interested in comic art's potential, Clowes' work offers exciting literary possibilities.» Time Magazine

Suositun kosmologin monikerroksinen esikoisromaani.Wilson on kirkkaasti ja oivalluksella kirjoitettu romaani ystävyydestä, rakkaudesta, elämän ennustamattomuudesta sekä ihmisen tiedon rajoista.Kirja kertoo Emilian ja Kassandran tarinan alkaen hetkestä, jolloin mystinen Wilson ilmaantuu Jupiterin kiertoradalle. Sen saapuessa Emilia on sairaalapsykologi ja Kassandra yrityskonsultti. Etsiessään omaa paikkaansa ystävykset haparoivat kiinalaisen ylivallan vuosikymmenten lävitse kohti tulevaisuutta, jonka tuhoutumista Jupiteria kiertävä ilmestys tuntuu ennustavan.”Wilson on mahdottomuus. Se on niin mahdoton, että tutkijat epäilevät, onko se sittenkään olemassa. Jos se on olemassa, missä mielessä se on olemassa?”Olipa Wilson mitä tahansa, se järkyttää mieliä, synnyttää uskontoja ja väkivaltaa sekä suistaa poluille, jotka vievät kauas lähtöpisteestä. Se on kohtalontähti, joka loistaa läpi vuosikymmenien ja muokkaa vaivihkaa Emilian, Kassandran ja heidän läheistensä elämää.Emeritusprofessori Kari Enqvist (s. 1954) on palkittu kosmologi. Wilson on hänen esikoisromaaninsa.

Wilson Disease: Pathogenesis, Molecular Mechanisms, Diagnosis, Treatment and Monitoring translates both clinical and experimental findings into a comprehensive approach for anyone involved in research and patient care. While the clinical variability of Wilson Disease poses a challenge from a diagnostic approach, the book uses the translational impact of new research findings to relate to new treatment concepts. Comprehensive chapters include common knowledge, guideline consensus statements, and discussions of clinical evidence. This is a must-have reference for researchers and clinicians in translational research.
