FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "What must I do to be saved?" That question, raised in the book of Acts by the Philippian jailer, is a question for the ages. Yet what, even, does it mean to be saved? Is salvation for this life or the next? Is it purely spiritual or does it have physical and material implications? Can salvation be lost? Do we determine who will be saved or does God? What role does Christ play in salvation? Such are the seemingly unending questions soteriology strives to answer.In this eighth volume from the Africa Society of Evangelical Theology, African theologians articulate their understanding of salvation - and its widespread implications for life and practice - in conversation with Scripture and the rich diversity of an African cultural context. Salvation is examined from historical, philosophical, and theological lenses, and scholars address topics as wide-ranging as conversion, ethnicity, fertility, poverty, prosperity, the Trinity, exclusivism, African Pentecostalism, rural community, eschatology, wholeness, and atonement. It is a powerful exploration of the holistic nature of salvation as articulated in Scripture and understood by the African church. Author Biography RODNEY L.

Review This book introduces the heartbeat of an African theological agenda developed around the critical question: "What does salvation means for us?" It reads the Bible with an African hermeneutic that is distinctly different from a Western one as it deals with the continents colonial heritage, African Traditional Religion, and various challenges facing Africa. The consensus of the book is that salvation is holistic, it addresses life and afterlife issues. Experiencing salvation is about following Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit in enacting the kingdom of God. H. Jurgens Hendriks, PhDEmeritus Professor Practical Theology and Missiology, Network for African Congregational Theology Advisor, Faculty of Theology, Stellenbosch University, South AfricaIn response to the question "What must I do to be saved?," the distinguished contributors to this book have provided compelling answers to not only this question but most of the critical issues around salvation through the eyes and ears of the African Christian. They have provided a biblically grounded intellectual piece that is encouraging, readable, and extremely practical using excellent case studies of African communities. Consequently, this piece will help lay people, theology and Bible students, and prospective foreign missionaries to Africa to understand and appreciate the role of African theologies in global theological discourseJohn Kpaleh Jusu, PhDAfrica International University, KenyaTheological Education Consultant, United World MissionSalvation is a central theme in both Christian teachings and in African Christianity. This volume addresses salvation in African Christianity by seasoned and emerging African theologians from an evangelical perspective. The topics discussed in this volume are relevant, biblically grounded, and well articulated by African scholars who are engaging with some of the critical issues facing African Christianity. I strongly recommend this volume to all who desire to know and learn more about Christian theology emerging from the Majority World.
