Stewards of Power
Africa’s national leaders have failed the continent. So have Africa’s church leaders. In Stewards of Power: Restoring Africa’s Dignity, Dwight Mutonono identifies the leadership problems plaguing the continent and appeals for good leadership in the style of the biblical Joseph rather than the xenophobic, self-centred style exemplified by Jonah. He offers practical suggestions for how African Christians can reject sycophancy and demand accountability from their leaders. This is a prerequisite for restoring Africa’s dignity with a clarion call for integrity and righteousness at a personal, institutional and national level.
African Public Theology
Africa needs leaders and Christians from every walk of life to rediscover their identity and purpose in all spheres of society. African Public Theology sounds a clarion call to accomplish this vital task. God created all humans equally, intending for us to live in community and take responsibility for the world around us – a mandate we need to act on. Through faithful application of Scripture to contexts common in the continent today, contributors from across Africa join as one to present a vision for the Africa that God intended. No simplistic solutions are offered – instead African Public Theology challenges every reader to think through the application of biblical principles in their own community, place of work and sphere of influence. If we heed the principles and lessons that God’s word has for society, culture and public life, then countries across Africa can have hope of a future that is free from corruption and self-promotion and is instead characterized by collective stewardship and servant-hearted leadership.
Development as Peace
The colonial definition of development has not served Africa well. While Western assessments have generally revolved around a nation’s GDP, infrastructure, and the like, African cultures, and the Yoruba people in particular, have traditionally measured development in relation to the amount of peace experienced in a society and the wellbeing of its people. In this study, Dr. Wole Adegbile examines the political, theological, and cultural contexts of contemporary development activity in Africa, including the impact of modernization theory on African nation-states. He then draws on traditional Yoruba political thoughts and practices, including the similarities between the Yoruba conception of a thriving community and the biblical principle of shalom, to formulate a contextual political theology of development that would holistically address cultural identity and spiritual restoration. Rooted in the intersection of Scripture and traditional African values, this book suggests a way forward for African society, its political leaders, and the church.

Théologie publique africaine
L’Afrique a besoin que dirigeants et chrétiens de tous horizons redécouvrent leur identité et leur raison d’être dans toutes les sphères de la société. Cet ouvrage lance un appel pour accomplir cette tâche vitale. Dieu a créé tous les humains égaux, afin qu’ils vivent en communauté et assument la responsabilité du monde qui les entoure, un mandat dont nous devons tous nous acquitter. Par l’ application fidèle des Écritures aux contextes actuels sur le continent aujourd’ hui, des contributeurs de toute l’ Afrique s’ unissent pour présenter une vision de l’ Afrique telle que Dieu l’a voulue. Ils ne proposent aucune solution simpliste. Au contraire, la Théologie publique africaine invite chaque lecteur à réfléchir à l’application des principes bibliques dans sa propre communauté, son lieu de travail et sa sphère d’influence. En tenant compte des principes et des leçons que la Parole de Dieu énonce pour la société, la culture et la vie publique, les pays d’Afrique peuvent espérer un avenir exempt de corruption et de despotisme, mais caractérisé par une gestion collective et un leadership au service des autres.
Teologia Pública Africana
A África precisa de líderes e cristãos de todas as esferas da vida para redescobrir a sua identidade e propósito em todas as esferas da sociedade. A Teologia Pública Africana soa um toque de clarim para realizar esta tarefa vital. Deus criou todos os seres humanos igualmente, pretendendo que vivamos em comunidade e assumamos a responsabilidade pelo mundo ao nosso redor – um mandato sobre o qual precisamos agir. Através da aplicação fiel das Escrituras aos contextos comuns no continente hoje, colaboradores de toda a África se unem para apresentar uma visão para a África que Deus planejou. Nenhuma solução simplista é oferecida – em vez disso, a Teologia Pública Africana desafia cada leitor a pensar através da aplicação dos princípios bíblicos na sua própria comunidade, local de trabalho e esfera de influência. Se prestarmos atenção aos princípios e lições que a Palavra de Deus tem para a sociedade, cultura e vida pública, então os países de toda a África podem ter esperança dum futuro livre de corrupção e autopromoção e, em vez disso, caracterizado pela administração coletiva e liderança de coração de servo.
Entrepreneurial Leadership

Comentário Bíblico Africano
O crescimento fenomenal da igreja africana traz consigo inúmeros desafios.
