Identity and Ecclesiology
Questions of identity continue to intrigue theologians in Africa, and African intellectuals often note communal emphases in African thought. This raises the question, How do ecclesiologies in Africa engage with identity concerns, and how do they envision the Christian identity? Stephanie Lowery argues in this book that theologians in Africa provide theological and biblical arguments regarding Christian identity that are relevant to individual Christians and ecclesiologies in all contexts. She also proposes the social identity approach as a tool that can both further articulate and advance these discussions.
Parables and Fables
Winner of the 2014 Brittingham Prize in Poetry, selected by Naomi Shihab Nye The word tyrant carries negative connotations, but in this new collection, Joanne Diaz tries to understand what makes tyranny so compelling, even seductive. These dynamic, funny, often poignant poems investigate the nature of tyranny in all of its forms political, cultural, familial, and erotic. Poems about Stalin, Lenin, and Castro appear beside poems about deeply personal histories. The result is a powerful exploration of desire, grief, and loss in a world where private relationships are always illuminated and informed by larger, more despotic forces.

V. Y. Mudimbe
VY Mudimbe: Undisciplined Africanism is the first English-language monograph dedicated to the work of Valentin Yves Mudimbe. This book charts the intellectual history of the seminal Congolese philosopher, epistemologist, and philologist from the late 1960s to the present day, exploring his major essays and novels. Pierre-Philippe Fraiture highlights Mudimbe’s trajectory through major debates on African nationalism, Panafricanism, neo-colonialism, negritude, pedagogy, Christianisation, decolonisation, anthropology, postcolonial representations, and a variety of other subjects, using these as contexts for close readings of many of Mudimbe’s texts, both influential and lesser-known. The book demonstrates that Mudimbe’s intellectual career has been informed by a series of decisive dialogues with some of the key exponents of Africanism (Herodotus, EW Blyden, Placide Tempels), continental and postcolonial thought (Jean-Paul Sartre, Frantz Fanon, Michel Foucault, and Claude Lévi-Strauss), and African thought and philosophy from Africa and the diaspora (L.S. Senghor, Patrice Nganang, and Achille Mbembe).

The Future of Catholic Biblical Interpretation
Notable Catholic interpreters of Scripture discern the guiding values of biblical interpretation at the brink of a new era for the church. Under the influence of Benedict XVI and Francis, Roman Catholics, whether lay or religious, have found renewed interest in studying sacred Scripture. Yet the church has also grown and faces new challenges in the new millennium. What does the future of Catholic biblical interpretation look like? And how ought the church’s rich heritage of biblical interpretation continue to influence it? This volume collects essays by some of the most influential voices in Catholic biblical scholarship today. Covering a variety of topics, from the Old Testament to the Ne...
Enjeux sociologiques et théologiques de la sécularisation
La société moderne a une perception nouvelle de la religion. Les indicateurs manifestes sont, entre autres, le changement dans les sphères économiques, sociales et politiques ; le déclin de la religion avec l’émancipation personnelle, collective et du monde vis-à-vis de Dieu en raison de la montée de rationalité technico-scientifique ; et la perte par l’Église de son autorité dans les institutions et dans la vie des individus. Ceci dénote le glissement d’un état religieux à l’état séculier, la séparation de l’Église d’avec l’État, la différentiation fonctionnelle et la concentration de l’effort de l’homme sur son auto-épanouissement. Fort de tout ce qui précède, l’Église est appelée à s’impliquer dans le séculier à l’instar du Dieu trinitaire afin de lui redonner une orientation positive et à proposer au séculier le modèle de vie qui remplace Dieu au centre de tous les secteurs de la société et dans tous les aspects de la vie.
Genre et fondamentalismes
When, why and how can religion and culture be both sources, and places of expression for fundamentalisms, particularly in relation to politics? Those are the central questions asked throughout this book alongside a discussion on the result when religion, strenthened by culture, is used as a political tool to access moral and social power. Cultural and religious messages often form the basis of decisions, laws and programs made in politics, and have a direct effect on society in general, and on women and gender relations in particular. The various forms taken by fundamentalisms in some African countries and the contexts under which they have emerged, the ways in which they (re)shape identitie...
Quelle Église pour un christianisme authentiquement africain?
Dans le contexte du christianisme africain, l'Eglise est conçue comme Famille dans sa triple dimension des vivants, des morts et des non-encore-nés où tous les membres s'engendrent et s'enfantent mutuellement. Ce livre s'efforce de montrer que suivant la conception africaine de famille, l'Eglise, aussi bien dans sa structure que dans la proclamation de l'Evangile, ne peut pas faire l'économie d'un engendrement et d'un enfantement mutuels. Cette perspective inspirera également une nouvelle manière de voir les rapports entre les Eglises particulières d'Afrique et l'Eglise universelle. Les deux partenaires sont appelés à s'engendrer et à s'enfanter mutuellement.
