Love, Joy, and Sex
There is no papal document that has generated as much interest, controversy, and debate in recent times as Pope Francis’s Amoris Laetitia. This document, which came out of two very divisive synods of Catholic bishops and leaders in Rome in 2014 and 2015, will probably be the most discussed document ever produced by a pope in modern Catholicism on marriage and family life. This volume has gathered seminal commentaries on Amoris Laetitia by African Catholic theologians, social scientists, and pastoral workers. They offer African theological and pastoral responses to the principles and practices proposed by Pope Francis and the Synod on the family on such contested issues as same-sex relation...
Thinking Globally and Responding Locally in the Church
How has Pope Francis’s groundbreaking document on marriage and family, Amoris Laetitia, been implemented in Africa? In Asia? In Latin America? In this volume, scholars from across these regions reflect on their experiences, correcting the overly western focus of most reactions to AL. The contributions look at local issues like polygamy in Africa, as well as more global issues in a local context, like feminism in Indonesia and synodality in Colombia. The reader will find that concerns about marriage and family can be similar throughout the world or specific to different contexts. As a whole, the book contributes to a more diverse and revisited catholic understanding of marriage and family.

Who Do You Say That I Am?
For the church, there can be no more significant question than Christ’s Who do you say that I am? It is the cornerstone upon which all of Christian faith and praxis must stand. In this volume, the sixth from the Africa Society of Evangelical Theology, contributors explore the question of Christ’s identity – and its implications for the global church – from a distinctly African perspective. Engaging biblical studies, church history, and applications for missions, discipleship, and inter-religious dialogue, these essays utilize African hermeneutics and rich cultural perspectives to shed light on Christ’s contextual relevance for Africa and for the world. The final section is dedicated to the memory of John S. Mbiti, the father of modern African theology, who passed away in 2019.
Perspectivas sobre la teología y la Iglesia en África
Este número de la revista es el resultado de las conversaciones entre el Consejo editorial de Concilium y los teólogos y agentes de pastoral africanos en el II Congreso Católico Panafricano sobre Teología, Sociedad y Vida Pastoral (Nairobi, Kenia, 18-22 de julio de 2022). Los artículos de este volumen abordan las diversas perspectivas sobre algunas de las cuestiones y preocupaciones más importantes del catolicismo africano contemporáneo. Hoy en día nos enfrentamos a nuevos y complejos desafíos a nivel mundial, que en África se asientan sobre muchos años de lucha de los pueblos africanos en su resistencia a las fuerzas de la muerte y la destrucción. Pero, en medio de todo esto, hay una fuerte esperanza que está enterrada en los corazones de muchos africanos. Este impulso se encarna de forma singular en las bazas de las mujeres africanas y en el dinamismo de los jóvenes africanos.
