Doing Synodality
In recent years, the image of a Catholic Church needing renewal has deepened in the German public arena. The Synodal Path identified structural aspects underlying the ecclesial crisis and proposed solutions debating issues such as clerical power, sexuality, participation, and the role of women. Considering the importance of these deliberations for the universal Church and their controversial international discussion, the need for intercultural dialogue became increasingly clear. The empirical project "Synodal Way – Global Church Perspectives" aimed to weave the polyphony of Global-Church perspectives into the debate. This volume presents the research's results and their analysis by academics from different world regions, fills a gap in intercultural mediation, and offers an inspiring contribution to the ongoing synodal dialogue.
A Christian and African Ethic of Women's Political Participation
This book surveys a broad panorama of Christian and African traditions to discover and assess the components that will illuminate and motivate a Christian and African ethic of women’s political participation. The author’s primary lens for diagnosing the problems faced by women in Africa is Engelbert Mveng’s concept of “anthropological poverty” that results from slavery and colonialism. It affects women in unique ways and is exacerbated by the religious and cultural histories of women’s oppression. The author advocates an interplay between the sacredness of every individual’s life, a salient principle of Christian ethics, and the collective consciousness of solidarity distinctiv...
Rediscovering Jesus in Our Places
The question of contextual theology and its relevance to Africa in this time of globalization, whereby there are rampant uncontrolled changes in cultures, technologies, economic policies, and even people's religious lives, is very urgent. How is contextual theology relevant in the ever-changing contexts of the church in Africa?

Les pays africains entre violence, espoir et reconstruction. L'action des chrétiens et des Eglises
Avec la globalisation, le continent africain est-il en voie de marginalisation ? La célébration des 50 ans d'indépendance a donné lieu en 2010 à une série de bilans et de promesses. Chercheurs, universitaires, expert et théologiens font ici le point sur les fonctionnements socio-économiques actuels du Continent. Ils rappellent la complexité des situations et les conséquences des mutations socioculturelles, en soulignant les mécanismes transversaux communs à de nombreux pays : la déstructuration sociale et l'urgence de la reconstruction. Dans le second temps de l'ouvrage, les actions des chrétiens et des Eglises sont étudiées en lien avec les travaux du deuxième Synode cathol...
Israel's Prophets and the Prophetic Effect of Pope Francis
Given that Pope Francis is a popular global religious leader, and in the light of the lessons drawn from the nature, meaning, and functions of Israel’s prophets, this tripartite work historically, pastorally, and theologically examines whether, and how Francis’ teaching, visits, outreach to the poor, preaching, and recent biblically based writings (Lumen Fidei, Evangelii Gaudium, Amoris Laetitia, Laudato Si', Gaudete et Exsultate, Letters, and Messages) have had any prophetic effects or impact on contemporary society.

Trinité et sens de la foi des fidèles
Ce livre présente la généalogie de l’histoire culturelle et théologique du dogme de la Trinité tel qu’enseigné par l’Église catholique en Afrique centrale en vue d’une évaluation critique de la doctrine trinitaire du kimbanguisme actuel. Par sa recherche axée sur la nomination de Dieu comme thème de la dogmatique africaine catholique, l’ouvrage nous met également devant la question de savoir si la doctrine chrétienne de Dieu avait suffisamment saisi les chances que lui présentaient l’anthropologie et la théologie africaines de Dieu d’avant l’arrivée du christianisme en Afrique.
