Toward an African Theology of Fraternal Solidarity
In this book, Ikenna Okafor tackles an interesting and timely topic and demonstrates competence and maturity in developing his insight into Igbo humanism--to make liberation theology from an African perspective into a theology of solidarity and fraternity. With a good narrative style, Okafor critiques the Latin American liberation theological project. And inspired by the hermeneutical implications of "UBE NAWANNE," the evangelical positioning of material poverty and pathos for the poor as defining Christian discipleship is persuasively presented. The potent nwanne idiom guides his critical evaluation of the social teachings and praxis of the Catholic Church. In fact, it is clear that Okafor embarked on a subject matter that is of theological moment and has creative pastoral implications for the Church of Nigeria, the Churches of Africa, and the World Church.
Fratelli Tutti
The first truly global commentary on a papal encyclical, Fratelli Tutti is a reflection on Pope Francis' 'Fratelli Tutti' and its publication in 2020 in the midst of interrelated global crises. Including responses from a diversity of locations and perspectives, the scholars seek to model Francis's call to fraternity and sorority and embody a creative openness to the reciprocal gifts of others. Pope Francis' encyclical provided both a sobering assessment of the crises and a hopeful vision of solidarity and healing. Francis' vision is taken forward by the scholars in this volume, answering the invitation to continue talking, thinking, and acting in a climate of confidence and audacity and to promote social friendship among the people of the world.

Under the Palaver Tree
Doing theology Under the Palaver Tree, in honor of one of Africa's foremost theologians, Elochukwu E.

African Women and the Shame and Pain of Infertility
In African Women and the Shame and Pain of Infertility: An Ethico-Cultural Study of Christian Response to Childlessness among the Igbo People of West Africa, Okoro discusses the shipwreck that is associated with infertility in marriage in Africa. Within this space, childlessness places a big question mark on a woman’s femininity and the self-esteem of the man. The stigma of infertility most often leads to social isolation and humiliation, particularly of married women, even when the source of infertility may not have come from them. Unfortunately, this situation goes against the highly valued Igbo ethical principle of onye aghala nwanne ya, meaning “no kith or kin should be left behind.â...
