Youth Development in Nigeria
Youth development is as a core aspect of human and national progress in Nigeria. The study suggests the development of young people as the means of poverty reduction. It indicates that amidst cultural, ethnic, and religious diversities, and in the light of threats to human life and property, the development of the youth is the way to promoting peace and unity, justice, and security. The book argues on a two-fold contribution: While the Nigerian Church is to intensify efforts in the active participation of lay Christians in politics, the State is to tackle critical areas to ensure a decent standard of living for all.
Socio-Cultural and Religious Conflicts and the Future of Nigeria
With the prevailing violent conflict situation of our world, perpetuated sometimes even in the name of religion, humanity today faces extinction. To reverse this ugly trend, humanity has no choice than to build a society where every tribe and tongue can coexist in peace. This work analyzed the violent conflicts from anthropological, behavioral, politico-philosophical, and theological perspectives, and makes a demand on humanity to save herself through proper education and dialogue with all men and religions. Lotanna Olisaemeka is a researcher in Missiology affiliated with the Philosophisch-Theologische Hochschule, Vallendar, Germany.
The Dangers of the Crowd
The book, “The Danger of the Crowd” evokes a feeling of agoraphobia by its title, but upon reading the content, one would be accompanied into a world of anamnesis by a reflective seminarian whose creative mind is second to none. The book is premised in the uniqueness of an individual and his inherent potential of making it to the high echelons of life without necessarily being a man of the crowd; that is, someone whose decisions and actions are being determined by the crowd. Suffice it to say that greatness evolves from singleness, in the right disposition of it; while failure might take its root from the influence of the crowd. By dint of birth, we are launched into the world just as de...
Social-Ethical Challenges of Digitalization in a Developing Country
The study is the result of a theological research and is based on current discussions on digitalization in Christian Social Ethics. The book answers questions such as: How can the Church use digitalization to advance her mission in the modern world? Since digitalization has redefined the landscape of evangelization and is now very much favoured by young people, how can the Church use digitalization to engage the young people in her mandate to evangelize the world? This work also examines how digitalization could be used to combat corruption, especially in the Nigerian public and private sectors. It suggests various measures by which internet fraud and corruption could be reduced, using digital tools. It stresses, however, that these measures can only have a positive outcome, if the government and its institutions are sincere and resolute in their determination to curb such corruption.
The Spirit With Us
In this volume, the author shows how the Akan concepts of sunsum and honhom offer a degree of Christian pneumatological similarity, providing the avenue for translating and contextualizing the doctrine of the Holy Spirit within the context of the Akan people of West Africa.
Digital Spiritualities
"Digital Spiritualities answers many of the questions of the Christian faithful and scholars of religion about the sustainability of Christian fellowship in an era of COVID-19. Its deft analysis of the creativity of Christians on issues of online lived Pentecostalism, viz, online evangelization, online liturgy and online network formation make this book an invaluable text for scholars of African Pentecostalism. The book is a critical contribution to, and in the vanguard of, an emerging scholarship on online Christian fellowship among the African diaspora." Olufunke Adeboye PhD, Professor of Social History & Dean of Arts, University of Lagos
What is this Thing Called "Sunsum"?
In recent decades, African scholarship has stressed the importance of regional oral traditions in academic learning. With this broad knowledge base in African studies, significant categories of socio-religious learning have been closely studied. This volume focuses on the notion of "spirit" as understood by the Akan people of West Africa. Clifford Owusu-Gyamfi is a systematic theologian from Ghana who lives in Switzerland. MTh from the University of Lausanne and PhD from the University of Geneva.

The Institution of the Seminary and the Training of Catholic Priests in South-Eastern Nigeria (1885-1970)
Today, we can no longer hide under the pretence that the grace of God alone suffices to make one a good priest. A close study of the history of priestly formation has shown that not just the training of priests can ensure an authentic priest-product, rather a continuous effort to adapt the training to the current world situation so that priests would be in the position to discharge their duties effectively. Such readiness to adaptability should, of course, not lose sight of the meaning and function of the priest as revealed in the person of Jesus: a service to the world. In the bid to assess the models for the training of priests in South-eastern Nigeria, the author using a historical-critic...
Access to Justice Beyond the State Courts
Costliness, excessive delay, bias against the weak, corruption, underfunding, insufficiency of legal skills and shortage of training programmes (for the judicial staff in its diversity), complexity of legal rules and procedures, including the language of both the law and the Court, dependency vis-à-vis the political authorities; these are flaws documented as hindering equal and effective access to Burundis formal state court justice system. This book argues that engaging with out-of-court justice in Burundis legal pluralism model may positively impact on peoples access to justice, particularly for the poor and the underprivileged.
