The City of Accra - A Pictorial Visit
Ghana is a country located on the West coast of Africa, with a population of 22.4 million. It is bordered by Cote D'Ivore to the west, Burkina Faso to the north, and Togo to the east, and covers a total land area of about 238,540 square kilometers. Former U.N. secretary general Mr. Kofi Annan comes from Ghana. Many who might have heard the name Ghana often mistook it for Guyana, a small country located on the northeastern coast of South America, with a population of about 800,000 and the capital being Georgetown. This book concentrates on Accra, the capital city of Ghana, not the entire country, and it seeks to educate people around the globe about this bustling city, which is fast developin...

African Christianity
This text analyzes African Christianity in the mid-1990s, against the background of the continent's current social, economic and political circumstances. Paul Gifford employs concepts taken from political economy to shed light on the current dynamics of African churches and churchgoers, and assesses their different contributions in political developments since 1989. He also evaluates the Churches' role in promoting a civil society in Africa. Four detailed case-studies - Ghana, Uganda, Zambia and Cameroon - cover all strands of Christianity: Catholic, Evangelical, mainline Protestant, Pentecostal and Independent. These serve as detailed analyses of the state of the churches in each country and suggest more general patterns operating widely across sub-Saharan Africa.
Ghana's New Christianity
In sub-Saharan Africa over the last two decades there has been an explosion of Christianity. This book sets out to identify its particular character, focusing on a particular place: Greater Accra, the capital of Ghana. Paul Gifford examines a wide range of Accra's new churches, giving priority to mega-churches. Every dimension -- discourse, theological vision, worship, rituals, music, media involvement, use of the Bible, conventions, finances, clientele -- is analysed. Gifford argues that this Christianity is not otherworldly: its emphasis is on success, achievement, wealth here and now. Yet within this general orientation there is diversity. At one end of the spectrum are churches that, bui...
