Biblical Christianity in African Perspective: Living Out the Faith in Context

Synopsis

Christianity in Africa is not a foreign import but the timeless truth of God's revelation, meant for all people. Yet, living out this faith within Africa's rich cultural tapestry, vibrant spiritual realities, and communal structures presents unique challenges. How can believers faithfully follow Christ without diluting the gospel into mere 'Africanism' or succumbing to syncretism? This book, "Biblical Christianity in African Perspective," addresses these pressing questions, exploring how God's unchanging Word speaks to Africa's deepest needs, corrects its errors, and fulfills its longings. Grounded in Scripture and delivered with pastoral warmth, it examines the supremacy of Christ over all powers, the authority of the Bible above culture, servant leadership versus corruption, biblical marriage and family in African homes, worship enriched but not compromised by African expression, Christian ethics in the face of injustice, and the mission of the African church in global Christianity, offering hope amidst suffering. Through engaging stories, biblical exposition, and practical applications, this work is both theological and pastoral, designed to equip pastors, students, and believers across Africa. It aims to foster true discipleship by demonstrating that Christianity is fundamentally biblical, not Western or African. When faithfully lived out in the African context, this biblical faith brings profound healing, transformation, and enduring hope to individuals, families, communities, and nations, aligning with the mission to advance Kingdom business globally and walk confidently into God's purpose.
