New Birth
New Birth uses the metaphor of Church as Family of God as a countervailing and transforming imagery in its various considerations. Inspired by the sense of life's itinerary--together with its triumphs and startling reversals and its unexpected twists and turns--New Birth sees hope, amidst social darkness and an ethos of selfishness, as interior to God's purposes for human wellbeing. Within this perspective, New Birth further recognizes that the risks always remain, that believers can distort true hope in this world and fail to love according to the spirit of the Gospel. Admittedly, when we as Christians love one another, we can be together and encourage each other. And as we support each oth...

Toward a Fuller Human Identity
This book is based on the thought of Gabriel Marcel and offers an introduction to the central categories of Marcel's thought, focusing on his idea of existential humanism. This study deals with the ambivalence of human existence and the concepts of being, ego and bodiliness. The author draws on examples from everyday life with a particular focus on African values and the recovery of the black self.
Tragic Humanity and Hope
With insights into the thought of Gabriel Marcel, Tragic Humanity and Hope recognizes that in our age scientific knowing is becoming a dominant form of knowledge. The leadership, influence, growth, and gravitational center of human existence depend, it seems, on scientific knowledge. As a result, we live in an information age that prizes production and immediate satisfaction but devalues the cultivation of wisdom. We risk diminishing the significance of sapiential knowing to deal with the immensely complex and intricate domains of human relationality. Furthermore, inquiry into moral discernment methods expands, becoming more diverse; yet, scholarly conversations that engage the vital exigenc...
International Review of Biblical Studies, Volume 51 (2004-2005)
Annotation. Formerly known by its subtitle "Internationale Zeitschriftenschau für Bibelwissenschaft und Grenzgebiete", the International Review of Biblical Studies has served the scholarly community ever since its inception in the early 1950's. Each annual volume includes approximately 2,000 abstracts and summaries of articles and books that deal with the Bible and related literature, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, Pseudepigrapha, Non-canonical gospels, and ancient Near Eastern writings. The abstracts - which may be in English, German, or French - are arranged thematically under headings such as e.g. "Genesis", "Matthew", "Greek language", "text and textual criticism", "exegetical methods and approaches", "biblical theology", "social and religious institutions", "biblical personalities", "history of Israel and early Judaism", and so on. The articles and books that are abstracted and reviewed are collected annually by an international team of collaborators from over 300 of the most important periodicals and book series in the fields covered.
The Undead and Theology
The academy and pop culture alike recognize the great symbolic and teaching value of the undead, whether vampires, zombies, or other undead or living-dead creatures. This has been explored variously from critiques of consumerism and racism, through explorations of gender and sexuality, to consideration of the breakdown of the nuclear family. Most academic examinations of the undead have been undertaken from the perspectives of philosophy and political theory, but another important avenue of exploration comes through theology. Through the vampire, the zombie, the Golem, and Cenobites, contributors address a variety of theological issues by way of critical reflection on the divine and the sacred in popular culture through film, television, graphic novels, and literature.

Azibuye emasisweni
African knowledge is yet to fully contribute to spaces of learning because of the disciplinary boundaries founded on Western separatist logic. From an African epistemology, knowledge is interconnected because of the cosmological understanding that the universe is one entity. Bringing African knowledge into the academy requires a concerted effort to bring it of its own accord. There have been commendable efforts by scholars in South Africa to bring African knowledge to higher education in ways that do not alter or re-shape this knowledge to suit the dominant Euro-American script. This book aims to showcase such efforts. This book makes interconnections of themes across disciplines. The content produced in this book will ensure that literature will anchor the noble efforts to build African universities that deliberately centre African ways of knowing. This book will be among the few publications that focus on Africanisation and decolonisation of knowledges as praxis. We anticipate that this book will be recommended in various disciplines of social sciences in South African universities.
Where Law Meets Reality
Considering the core debates about how to develop a transitional justice agenda that best responds to the African context, this book addresses the tension between justice, peace and reconciliation.
