Problems and Prospects of the Search for a Catholic Spiritual Tradition in the Ghanaian Catholic Pastoral Ministry
Today, Christianity has become the most popular and fast-growing religion in Ghana. Paradoxically, the Christian Church, in whatever form it has taken, has, for a complexity of reasons, basically remained a weak church with a weak foundation. This book discusses, from a theologico-cultural anthropological perspective, some of the ecclesial and social processes and factors that, the author believes, are responsible for the creation of this paradox in the case of the Ghanaian Catholic Church and demonstrates how they influence the search for a Catholic spiritual tradition in it.
Mission, Communion and Relationship
Mission, Communion and Relationship addresses the urgent need for the churches in Africa to positively respond to the crisis confronting the continent's young men. It calls for the church to commit itself to providing alternatives to the various crises confronting male youths in Africa (dislocation, illiteracy, streetism, unemployment, emigration, crime, imitation of foreign cultures, consumerism, drug abuse, promiscuity and HIV/AIDS). Mission, Communion and Relationship argues that communion and solidarity with male youths is a missiological imperative of the Roman Catholic Church in Africa, which must work in concert with other Christian denominations, as well as Muslim and African Traditional Religion leaders. This interdisciplinary book brings together insights from ecclesiology, church history, theological anthropology and the social sciences as well as African and Western philosophy with concrete ecclesial and human experiences. Mission, Communion and Relationship sets forth a framework for dealing with the cultural formation and religious development of male youths in ways that are authentically African and Christian, socially oriented and pastorally engaged.
The Politics of Religious Sound
"Justice Arthur presents a wealth of intriguing material, an impressive thick description of the conflict and a thorough analysis of the many, very complex factors that contribute to the conflict. His work on the multiple dimensions of the conflict is knowledgeable, comprehensive and plausible and it clearly shows that the so-called religious conflicts are never about `religion' only." - Prof. Dr. Eva Spies (University of Bayreuth, Germany). "Justice A. Arthur has laid out a multidisciplinary, multi-perspective and long-term analysis of the clashes on the noise ban in Accra. The chapters are convincingly set up in order to manage the complexity of approaches, covering religious studies, theology, mission studies as well as anthropology, legal and political studies." - Prof. Andreas Heuser (University of Basel, Switzerland).
Warum Robinson nicht zu Hause blieb
Back cover: Robinson Crusoe, der 1719 erschienene Roman von Daniel Defoe, hat als Jugendbuch weltweite Wirkung gehabt: die Geschichte vom erfinderisch tätigen Menschen, der auf einsamer Insel die menschliche Kultur neu aufbaut. Auch seine Botschaft für erwachsene Leser hat vielfältige Deutungen gefunden: ist er das Dokument einer misanthropischen Neurose, der Inbegriff des welterobernden bürgerlichen homo oeconomicus, oder ein widerspenstiger Pilger in Gottes übergreifendem unentrinnbaren Plan? In seiner Komplexität ist er in neuer Lektüre auch für heutige Leser aktuell.
Als Kinderarzt im Einsatz
Die Abgabe seiner Kinderarztpraxis im Januar 2006 war für Karl-Michael Doering der Beginn eines neuen Lebensabschnitts. Er hatte sich vorgenommen und auch schon darauf vorbereitet, in Ländern der 3. Welt in Krankenhäusern und Ambulanzen zu arbeiten. Mit verschiedenen Hilfsorganisationen kam er bis 2014 nach Ghana, Nepal, Myanmar und auf die Philippinen. Wenn er alleine im Einsatz war - gelegentlich begleitete ihn seine Ehefrau Monika -, schrieb er täglich Tagebuch. Diese Tagebücher sind hier zusammengefasst und vermitteln ein unmittelbares und realistisches Bild von der täglichen Arbeit als Kinderarzt unter sehr unterschiedlichen Bedingungen.

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...
