BOOK CATALOGUE If you picture the Bible to be a mighty tree and every word a little branch, I have shaken every one of these branches because I wanted to know what it was and what it meant.

—MARTIN LUTHER

Though there are thirty authors from different backgrounds and disciplines, there is unity of purpose, clarity and continuity in this highly readable book. One of the most important theological books to come out of Africa in 2020 and should be a pacesetter for future African theologies.

At a recent annual conference a fellow exhibitor that was passing our booth commented in a jovial tone “Wow! You’re actually a real publisher now”. In the split second following the comment, two opposite thoughts immediately passed through my mind. The first being “Great! We must have an impressive book display this year”, and the second being “Hold on! Were we not a real publisher before?!”. The exhibitor was a person I’ve enjoyed chatting with and getting to know over the years, and the comment was of course a very kind compliment. However, as I think back to that interaction the question that I ask myself is what does make a real publisher?

With there being many types of publishers – academic, popular, children’s, ministry, self-publishing – any answer to the above question could certainly be quite subjective. So rather than try and elaborate on what makes us a publisher, it is more of a question of who makes us a publisher and what guides us in what we do. Our wonderful authors, dedicated staff, committed freelancers, as well as our reviewers, endorsers and advisors help define who we are, as we seek to serve our readers, and ultimately the whole church.

As a publisher, we are guided by the awareness that Christian leaders around the world need good books. Books that are faithful to scripture, books that are relevant to the context of our readers, books that transform lives. We give a platform to the diverse voices that make up our global church and as we do, we seek to value and listen to the perspectives of others, to pray about what we do and how we do it, and to be passionate about partnering with others.

From browsing our publications you may note that a large number of our books are from authors or contributors who are not Western, or as we in Langham would say, are from the Majority World. Our emphasis here originated with our founder, John Stott, who laid the foundation for our publishing work almost two decades ago. We want to address the imbalance that most books for Christians do not speak into the context of most Christians. This is why we seek to publish books for Majority World readers. And second, we wish for biblical understanding to flow unrestricted among all believers, so that our church in the West may grow together with our church in the Majority World.

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. (Eph 3:18)

Whether you are discovering our books for the first time, or have been following us for some time, we invite you to join with us in making our conviction a reality – that Christian leaders around the world will have good books to support and strengthen their ministry.

Blessings,

Luke Lewis Director of Langham Publishing The vision of HippoBooks is to stimulate spiritual and intellectual growth by developing books by African Christian authors who address African realities from an evangelical perspective. African Public Theology Edited by SUNDAY BOBAI AGANG, DION A. FORSTER, H. JURGENS HENDRIKS

Africa needs leaders and Christians from every walk of life to rediscover their identity and purpose in all spheres of society. African Public Theology sounds a clarion call to accomplish this vital task. God created all humans equally, intending for us to live in community and take responsibility for the world around us – a mandate we need to act on.

Through faithful application of Scripture to contexts common in the continent today, contributors from across Africa join as one to present a vision for the Africa that God intended. No simplistic solutions are offered – instead African Public Theology challenges every reader to think through the application of biblical principles in their own community, place of work and sphere of influence. If we heed the principles and lessons that God’s word has for society, culture and April 2020 | 9781783687664 public life, then countries across Africa can have hope of a future that is Paperback | 229 x 152mm | 448 pages free from corruption and self-promotion and is instead characterized £19.99 / $29.99 / 26.00€ by collective stewardship and servant-hearted leadership.

4 HippoBooks Against Principalities and Powers Spiritual Beings in Relation to Communal Identity and the Moral Discourse of Ephesians DANIEL K. DARKO

In this comprehensive exploration of Ephesians, Daniel K. Darko establishes the context of early Christians in Asia Minor, specifically in relation to their belief in spiritual beings and the role these beings play in human affairs. Drawing parallels with contemporary contexts across the globe, especially in Africa, Professor Darko critiques the limited lens of Western interpretation, encouraging the church to embrace a broader array of worldviews in its pursuit of deep biblical understanding and sound application. Ultimately, Darko demonstrates that salvation in Ephesians is about deliverance from sin and the end of control by evil powers so we can flourish under the reign of God.

HippoBooks 5 Engaging Religions and Worldviews in Africa A Christian Theological Method YUSUFU TURAKI

In a world of increasing globalization, we live amidst a clash of cultures, religions, and worldviews – each battling for the human heart and mind.

In this in-depth study, Yusufu Turaki offers a theological framework for engaging this clash of perspectives in Africa, where traditional African religions, colonialism, and exposure to Christianity have each had a lasting impact on contemporary African worldviews. Professor Turaki undertakes a systematic analysis of the nature of African Traditional Religion, its complex history with Christianity, and the need for African Christian theology to address its cultural and historical roots effectively. He provides both a conceptual framework and practical guide for engaging African cultures and religions with compassion, understanding, and a firm foundation April 2020 | 9781783687596 rooted in scriptural truth.

6 HippoBooks God Speaks My Language A History of Bible Translation in East Africa ALOO OSOTSI MOJOLA

This is the fascinating and important story of how God’s Word came to East Africa. Osotsi Mojola traces the history of Bible translation in the region from 1844 to the present. He incorporates four decades of personal conversations and interviews, along with extensive research, to provide the first comprehensive account of the translations undertaken in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The maps and tables included assist the reader, as does a history of the Swahili language – its standardization, role as lingua franca, and impact on the work of translation. Mojola’s writing is a tribute to those who sacrificed much in their quest to see the word of God accessible to all people, in all places – and the many who continue to sacrifice for the peoples of East Africa.

Dr Mojola deserves commendation for packaging in one March 2020 | 9781783685448 volume so much information.

Michael went to be with the Lord in 2017, before The Branch Exposition of the Bible reached publication.

Langham Global Library 11 Creating Shared Resilience The Role of the Church in a Hopeful Future DAVID M. BOAN, JOSH AYERS

Boan and Ayers utilize their extensive experience working within the humanitarian sector, and in cooperation with local churches, to examine the evidence for effective partnerships between development agencies and local faith communities. The authors provide practical guidance on how church leaders can forge stronger relationships with NGOs, donors, and government while reinforcing, rather than compromising, the unique calling of the church. They explore resilience as an inherently communal characteristic and one located at the heart of the church’s historic calling to build community, strengthen faith, and shelter those in need. This is an excellent resource for anyone desiring to understand the value of local faith communities in battling poverty and helping communities survive and thrive amidst the impact of climate change and natural disasters.

Langham Global Library 13 Family in Mission Theology and Praxis JOHANNES REIMER

Innumerable books have been written about successful outreach and evangelism, yet almost none address the centrality of the family as God’s intended vehicle for experiencing life, community, and growth. In this timely and powerful book, Johannes Reimer urges us to rediscover the family as a primary agent for mission in the world. Offering both a theological and practical foundation for understanding the role and significance of families in the vocation of the church, this book also provides creative ideas for implementing a family-centered praxis that offers preparation and support to families living out their calling to make Christ known.

To ignore the family, Reimer warns, is to ignore the church’s greatest resource for transmitting truth, communicating love, and embodying the gospel. If we are to be effective in making disciples of all nations, we must start in our own homes.

14 Langham Global Library Finding Hagar God’s Pursuit of a Runaway MICHAEL F. KUHN

Finding Hagar probes the relentless pursuit by the living God of a fugitive woman who falls outside the line of his chosen people. This pursuit ensures Hagar’s destiny by giving her an identity as one who is seen and known by God himself.

Hagar’s story centers around a deeply personal dialogue with God concerning her past and her future, her story and her dreams; and while his promises are rooted in her reality, they also carry her forward to a new horizon of hope. Often recognized as one of the Bible’s most powerful stories of God’s love, which is always undeserved and unmerited, this book is a reminder of God’s abundant grace towards all people at a time when there is much division and animosity towards the descendants of Hagar. As we witness major displacement of peoples around the August 2019 | 9781783686476 world, the story of Hagar – of God’s encounter with a displaced Paperback | 229 x 152mm | 130 pages and oppressed woman – inspires hope and purpose for today’s £9.99 / $14.99 / 13.00€ fractured global community.

Langham Global Library 15 Give Up the Purple A Call for Servant Leadership in Hierarchical Cultures JULYAN LIDSTONE

It would seem that every culture on earth has a propensity towards controlling and authoritarian leadership – at its very core, the human condition has a desire for control and self-determination. In this book, Julyan Lidstone uses his decades of experience in western and central Asia and, most importantly, the authoritative teaching of the Bible, to shed light on issues of authoritarian leadership in honour-shame cultures.

Gifted young leaders are gathering new believers in Jesus all over the world, but the prevailing culture of domineering leadership is the single greatest obstacle to the healthy growth and firm establishment of these new churches. Lidstone winsomely and accurately applies the servant leadership modelled by Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul, as revealed by Scripture, as the cross-centred August 2019 | 9781783686810 antidote to the pain, damage and disillusionment caused by Paperback | 229 x 152mm | 106 pages leadership that does not reflect the Christlikeness of the kingdom £8.99 / $13.99 / 12.00€ of God.

JULYAN LIDSTONE has led a colourful life of faithful missionary service to Jesus Christ and people groups from across Asia. He has an MTh in Biblical Interpretation from the University of Aberdeen, UK, and also helped found Operation Mercy following the Gulf War in 1991 and the wave of Kurdish refugees entering Turkey at the time.

16 Langham Global Library God With Us and Without Us, Volume Two The Beauty and Power of Oneness in Trinity IMAD N. SHEHADEH

While volume 1 stressed the inevitability of Oneness in Trinity, this second volume of God With Us and Without Us demonstrates the beauty and life-transforming power of Oneness in Trinity. The nature of the eternal relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit stands in contrast with the nature of God in Absolute Oneness. Dr Imad N. Shehadeh elucidates through careful argumentation and detailed critical thinking, why Oneness in Trinity is to be prized and what God would look like if He were not triune.

By addressing the beauty and power of Oneness in Trinity, this book deepens our understanding of the Trinity as the solid foundation of all other doctrines.

Langham Global Library 17 The Kingdom of God in Africa A Short History of African Christianity MARK SHAW, WANJIRU M. GITAU

In this brief yet comprehensive history of African Christianity, Mark Shaw and Wanjiru Gitau powerfully remind their readers that far from being an imported religion, African Christianity is one of the oldest forms of Christianity in the world.

Beginning with the early church in Egypt and North Africa, this study traces the development of African Christianity through the various stages of its 2000-year history. From the medieval Christian kingdoms of Nubia and Ethiopia, through the coming of Islam and the age of European exploration, colonialism, and missions, to the rise of African initiated churches and the development of spiritual and political independence, the African church has faithfully testified to the power and diversity of God’s kingdom. This book is the only up-to-date, single-volume study of its kind, and it contains maps and timelines to aid readers as July 2020 | 9781783688111| Paperback they explore the movement of God on the African continent and 229 x 152mm | 380 pages the impact of that movement on the world at large. £18.99 / $29.99 / 25.00€

Noted theologian Samuel Escobar offers a magisterial survey and study of Christology in Latin America. In Search of Christ in Latin America examines the figure of Jesus Christ in the context of Latin American culture, starting with the first Spanish influence in the sixteenth century and moving through popular religiosity and liberationist themes in Catholic and Protestant thought of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, culminating in an important description of the work of the Fraternidad Teológica Latinoamericana (FTL). Escobar provides theological, historical, and cultural analysis of Latin American understandings of Christ and places liberation theology within its social and revolutionary context.

Langham Global Library 19 Sarah’s Laughter Doubt, Tears, and Christian Hope VINOTH RAMACHANDRA

Sarah’s Laughter provides a reflection on suffering that is deeply personal and both theologically and philosophically astute.

Vinoth Ramachandra draws on his distinctive positioning as a Sri Lankan Christian theologian – one who has lived and ministered in contexts shaped by the destruction of natural disasters and the violence of human evil – to confront the intellectual, moral, and political challenges posed to faith in the increasingly broken world of the twenty-first century. Yet far from being an abstract discussion of theodicy, this book is intimate and vulnerable, embracing the biblical practice of lament and inviting an authentic response to grief – one that makes space for serious doubt and profound questioning. Sharing his own ongoing journey with suffering and a questing faith, Ramachandra reminds us that lament and joy, faith and protest, clarity and ambiguity, belong May 2020 | 9781783688579 together in faithful Christian discipleship. It is not in bypassing Paperback | 229 x 152mm | 150 pages the darkness of the world, but in embracing it – in imitation of the £9.99 / $19.99 / 13.00€ incarnate God – that we may glimpse the new creation.

20 Langham Global Library Scattered and Gathered A Global Compendium of Diaspora Missiology Edited by SADIRI JOY TIRA, TETSUNAO YAMAMORI

The twenty-first century is marked by mass migration. Massive population movements of the last century have radically challenged our study and practice of mission. Where the church once rallied to go out into “the regions beyond,” Christian mission is currently required to respond and adapt to “missions around.” As a result, leaders in this field have been developing diaspora missiology to provide a missiological framework for understanding and participating in God’s redemptive mission among peoples living outside their places of origin. In this volume, experts in diaspora missiology from across the globe analyze the development of missions to migrants and add to our understanding of the contemporary church’s opportunities and responsibilities for mission amongst diaspora groups.

This volume puts out a clarion call to the global church July 2020 | 9781783687640 | Paperback about a critically important mission need and strategy. 229 x 152mm | 710 pages You truly cannot understand the full picture of global £32.99 / $49.99 / 43.00€ mission without understanding diaspora missiology. —MICHAEL OH Lausanne Movement Table of Contents

Langham Global Library 21 Stumbling toward Zion Recovering the Biblical Tradition of Lament in the Era of World Christianity DAVID W. SMITH

In this powerful and challenging book, David W. Smith identifies a crisis at the heart of the church. It is the crisis of triumphalism – the tendency to avoid honest engagement with brokenness and suffering, privileging victory while rejecting the practice of lament. This imbalance, Smith argues, threatens to undermine the credibility of faith for a watching world, alienating those experiencing hardship and oppression; those wrestling with doubt, uncertainty, and loss.

In Stumbling toward Zion, Smith reclaims the importance of lament throughout Scripture – from the Old Testament to the gospel narratives and Paul’s letters – and explores the history and impact of its loss within certain church traditions. World Christianity, February 2020 | 9781783687770 with its heartlands in contexts of poverty, war and persecution, Paperback | 229 x 152mm | 166 pages has a crucial role to play in recovering an understanding of God’s £10.99 / $19.99 / 14.00€ love for a suffering creation capable of restoring the credibility of Christian witness in the midst of our brokenness.

22 Langham Global Library A Theology of Suffering J. BRYSON ARTHUR

This book is a study and meditation on the nature, origin, and reality of suffering. Contemplating the suffering of Christ and other biblical figures, J. Bryson Arthur investigates a theology of suffering that testifies to its necessity within the plan of God. Bryson reminds us that the nature of suffering is to share fellowship with Christ – to take up one’s cross and follow him. Thus, suffering is not arbitrary but intrinsic to the path God has laid before our feet: a path leading to restoration, wholeness, and fullness of life. An important resource for students of theology, this is also a powerful and hopeful read for anyone seeking meaning in the midst of suffering.

Langham Global Library 23 The Theology of the Hebrew Bible An Introduction PAVEL HANES

The philosophical worldview of authors inevitably shapes the work they create. Never is this more true than in the field of biblical theology where unexposed assumptions impact the way scholars read, analyze, and expound the biblical text.

This excellent introduction sets out to make the implicit explicit, exploring the impact of philosophical thought on Old Testament theology’s most influential thinkers. Providing an overview of the discipline’s development, Professor Hanes traces the intellectual and social currents that shaped Old Testament theology from early church history to today. Hanes carefully and systematically uncovers the underlying presuppositions that impacted the methodology of key theologians and the conclusions they ultimately drew.

24 Langham Global Library Vulnerable Love Islam, the Church and the Triune God BERNHARD J. G. REITSMA

All too often, a Christian response to Islam is rooted in antagonism and steeped in defensiveness and fear. Yet the church is not called to engage in a battle with Islam in order to conquer Muslims, and when we, as Christians, wield apologetics like a weapon and shroud the message of Christ’s sacrifice in the armour of polemics, we destroy the credibility of our witness even as we seek to save the lost.

Bernhard Reitsma invites the church to rediscover a Christ- like approach to Islam – an approach that roots itself in love, vulnerability, and fearless embrace. Far from ignoring the complex challenges faced by Christians living in Muslim-majority nations – or in Western countries where Islam is on the rise – Reitsma addresses practical concerns such as persecution, political power, the nation of Israel, and contextualization, all within a thoroughly July 2020 | 9781839730009 | Paperback biblical and Christ-centered framework.

30 Langham Global Library Authentic Forgiveness A Biblical Approach JOHN C. W. TRAN

No one can avoid conflict, sin, and evil, or the hurt and brokenness they cause. The best way to transform conflict and hurt from being life-destructive to being life-constructive is to forgive and to be forgiven.

Authentic, biblically based forgiveness is a gift that God offers to humanity so that hurt can be healed, the cycle of retaliation broken, a painful past soothed, and estranged relationships reconciled and restored. Dr John Tran explains how forgiveness in both Western and Chinese cultures differs from the practice outlined in God’s word.

34 Langham Global Library All Things New Eschatology in the Majority World Edited by GENE L. GREEN, STEPHEN T. PARDUE, K. K. YEO

The Christian faith presents a distinctive vision of last things: that God in Christ aims to reconcile the world to himself, and through his Spirit and a new people, to set all things to right. This good news is for all nations and peoples, but for too long the Christian doctrine of eschatology has focused on debates and arguments rooted solely in the Western church. In All Things New, leading theologians and biblical scholars from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and North America offer readers a glimpse of how Christians around the globe are perceiving and describing the Christian hope. The result is a remarkably refreshing and distinctive vision of eschatology guaranteed to raise new questions and add new insights to the global church’s vision of the eschaton.

The Beasts, the Graves, and the Ghosts A Study of Contextualized Preaching during Chinese Festivals HANN TZUU JOEY TAN

At the heart of the gospel is the message of the incarnation: God translating himself into the context of human culture and language so we might know him. Far from coming to an end with Christ’s life on earth, this process of contextualization is ongoing, reoccurring every time the gospel encounters the particularities of society and culture.

In this book, Dr Tan explores the significance of contextualized preaching within the Chinese context. Against the backdrop of three major festivals – the Spring Festival, the Qing Ming Festival, and the Hungry Ghost Festival – Tan examines the practices of six experienced Chinese preachers in order to demonstrate the theological and practical importance of contextualized preaching.

38 Langham Monographs Catalyzing Reader-Response to the Oral Gospel A Rhetorical Analysis of the Markan Text’s Convincing and Convicting Devices MWANIKI KARURA

Dr Mwaniki Karura provides fresh insight into the Gospel of Mark, its audience, and its purpose in this in-depth study of the Markan text and its oral context. Through careful analysis of the rhetorical layers in Mark, Karura establishes the use of Old Testament quotations, miracle stories, and the passion narratives as tools to galvanize its readers’ response to the oral gospel they had already received. Dr. Karura demonstrates how Mark’s gospel exists as both a challenge and an encouragement, utilizing parables such as the sower and that of the wicked tenants, to reflect its readers’ own hearts. In condemning its audience’s lukewarm response to the gospel they had heard preached, it simultaneously seeks to inspire obedience, faith, and whole-hearted passion for June 2020 | 9781839730078 that same gospel.

Langham Monographs 39 Christianity in Central Tanzania A Story of African Encounters and Initiatives in Ugogo and Ukaguru, 1876–1933 MWITA AKIRI

In the telling of the history of the Church Missionary Society (CMS) in Tanzania, the initiatives, contributions, and experiences of indigenous teachers have too often been neglected in favour of stories of sacrifices of Western missionaries. Bishop Mwita Akiri redresses this bias by using a socio-historical approach, written from an Afro-centric tradition, to evaluate the contributions and experiences of indigenous agents in the growth of Christianity in Tanzania. This book underscores the significance of oral tradition in African historiography and challenges the claim that foreign missionaries succeeded in destroying African cultures, when they are in fact alive and well.

40 Langham Monographs A Christian Theology of Suffering in the Context of Theravada Buddhism in Thailand SATANUN BOONYAKIAT

In this text, Satanun Boonyakiat sets out to elucidate a Christian theology of suffering relevant to the context of Theravada Buddhism in Thailand. Grounding his work in a trinitarian comparative theology of religions, Boonyakiat explores the ways in which Buddhist teachings on suffering – specifically the Four Noble Truths – can challenge, enrich, and deepen a Christian perspective. Ultimately, Dr Boonyakiat suggests, a Christian theology of suffering relevant to the people of Thailand, both Christian and Buddhist alike, must move beyond a traditional, western emphasis on theodicy to address a practical response to suffering’s lived reality – a response rooted firmly in Scripture and grounded in a theology of the cross.

Langham Monographs 41 The Concept of Divine Sovereignty in Micah A Vision for the Fulfillment of the Abrahamic Promises COLIN SEMWAYO

We live in a world gone awry. Social injustice pervades our societies, the poor are disdained, despotic leaders and nations seem to control world events, and racism and hatred abound. Yet, while it might appear that evil reigns, the sovereign God is in control.

Such is the message of the book of Micah, a text that underscores God’s presence in the world, righting wrongs, delivering the marginalized, and restoring the intended order of creation. In this careful explication of the minor prophet, Dr Semwayo challenges those who would question the text’s unity, revealing Micah as a powerful theological reflection on the reestablishment of Yahweh’s sovereignty on earth.

Langham Monographs 45 The Fellowship of the Throne in John’s Apocalypse A Theo-Political Inquiry into Authority and Society and their Christological Bond FABIÁN SANTIAGO

What relevance does the book of Revelation hold for our lived reality within secular societies? In this book, Dr Fabián Santiago explores concepts of authority, society, and political power against the backdrop of the Apocalypse and in conversation with Oliver O’Donovan’s political theology. Santiago offers a reading of Revelation that does not bypass its exegetical complexities, but instead allows for new possibilities of engagement. He investigates the conception of authority presented in Revelation – a conception centered on the throne of God and transformed by the exalted Jesus – and argues that this divine authority ultimately correlates with the Fellowship of the Throne, a liturgical community mediated by the risen Christ. An excellent resource for students of political July 2020 | 9781783687633 | Paperback theory and theology, Christology, and biblical narrative, this book 229 x 152mm | 318 pages offers a powerful theo-political critique of secular discourse on £24.99 / $37.99 / 32.00€ the nature of political authority.

46 Langham Monographs Jesus Christ as Ancestor A Theological Study of Major African Ancestor Christologies in Conversation with the Patristic Christologies of Tertullian and Athanasius REUBEN TURBI LUKA

Dr Luka uses historical-theological methodology to engage in detail with Christologies of key African theologians and conventional theological sources for Christology, including Tertullian and Athanasius as well as modern theologians. Turbi argues that existing African Christologies, specifically ancestor Christologies, are inadequate in expressing the person of Christ. Turbi proposes an African Linguistic Affinity Christology that explicitly portrays Jesus as Christ in a contextually relevant way for Africans in everyday life. This crucial study highlights the need for biblically rooted Christology and for sound theological understanding and naming of Jesus.

Langham Monographs 47 Perception and Identity A Study of the Relationship between the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and Evangelical Churches in Ethiopia SEBLEWENGEL DANIEL

Dr Seblewengel Daniel explores the perception and identity of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and evangelical church in Ethiopia and examines the relations between the two. Beginning with the earliest evangelical missionary engagement with the Orthodox church, Dr Daniel skilfully uses historical and theological frameworks to explain the dynamics at play when approaching the relations over two centuries between these two churches and their respective communities. Daniel ultimately emphasizes that what unites the Orthodox and evangelical church is greater than what divides – namely an ancient faith in the triune God. This important study urges both sides to place the Bible at the centre, using it to understand their differences, and challenges them to take responsibility for past negative perceptions in order to move October 2019 | 9781783686346 forward together in greater unity and mutual respect.

48 Langham Monographs Pursuing an Elusive Unity A History of the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian as a Federative Denomination (1924–2016) RHODIAN MUNYENYEMBE

Since its founding in 1924, the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) has grown to span five synods across Central, Eastern, and Southern Africa. Dr Rhodian Munyenyembe traces the history of these synods back to their shared roots in the Reformation and individual roots in three separate Presbyterian missions.

Dr Munyenyembe skillfully explores both historic and contemporary challenges to the unity of the CCAP, and raises the question of whether the CCAP truly functions as a single denomination or could better be understood as a loose federation of five distinct churches. His in-depth explanation provides a critical look that goes beyond a surface understanding of what September 2019 | 9781783686445 it means to unite churches from different cultural traditions, and Paperback | 229 x 152mm | 316 pages brings honest answers to disputes and conflicts among the CCAP £24.99 / $37.99 / 32.00€ synods.

Langham Monographs 49 Russian Baptist Mission Theology in Historical and Contemporary Perspective ANDREY KRAVTSEV

Since the disintegration of the USSR many Russian Baptists have actively engaged in evangelism, church planting, and acts of social service. This book is a response to the need to critically evaluate the effectiveness of past mission efforts and their undergirding theology.

In this detailed study, Dr Andrey Kravtsev combines historical and qualitative studies to outline the understanding of mission developed by Russian Baptists during the Soviet era when they were almost completely isolated from global missiological developments. First, Kravtsev identifies four key missiological concepts and uses them to analyse the history of mission theology in global evangelical mission movements and the Russian Baptists.

50 Langham Monographs Theology of Reconciliation in the Context of Church Relations A Palestinian Christian Perspective in Dialogue with Miroslav Volf RULA KHOURY MANSOUR

Christians are called to be peacemakers in a world rife with conflict, but how should Christians respond when the source of strife is not outside the church but within it?

Most Christians, whether preachers or not, are familiar with the Lord’s Prayer; maybe too familiar.

In this insightful reflection on the Fourth Gospel, Rev Yohanna Katanacho invites us to encounter the Gospel of John anew, this time from the perspective of a twenty-first century Palestinian Christian.

Challenging the claim that Christ belongs to a particular denomination, nation, or race, Katanacho presents the Gospel of John as introducing a new world order. In John’s account of Jesus’s life, the rich history of Judaism is reinterpreted in light of the inclusive Christ, the fulfilment of Old Testament prophecies, teachings, and promises. Walking us through the reinterpretation of holy space, holy time, holy history, holy community, holy land, and life itself, Katanacho demonstrates how John’s gospel establishes a new identity for the people of God – an identity February 2020 | 9781783687800 defined not by race or nationality but by suffering and love.

Langham Preaching Resources 55 What Christ Thinks of the Church Preaching from Revelation 1 to 3 JOHN STOTT

Christ’s letters to the seven churches still resonate today. Like those ancient churches, most churches today lie somewhere on the continuum between flourishing and withering, between faithfulness and faithlessness, between comfort and persecution. Using seven key themes, John Stott illustrates the timeless relevance of Christ’s exhortations and warnings to the universal church, while pointing to Christ, the Lamb turned Shepherd, who knows the unique opportunities and challenges that face each church. This is a helpful guide for preachers looking to feed their flock with this often visited passage from John’s vision of the apocalypse.

This gifted teacher has bequeathed to the church a book that is a compelling read, an invaluable guide, a spiritual and theological treasure – and an urgent challenge.

La littérature sur le thème des Églises d’initiative africaine est très abondante en anglais, mais ce phénomène n’est pas encore un sujet

Il suscite souvent des réactions stéréotypées et négatives qui de réflexion très abordé et approfondi dans le monde francophone. contrastent avec l’appréciation positive des membres et des promoteurs des Églises d’initiative africaine.

62 Publications in French Comprendre Dieu La pensée théologique d’Isaac Zokoué revisitée ENOCH TOMPTÉ-TOM

Cette publication fait des deux œuvres académiques d’Isaac Zokoué un ouvrage mis à la disposition du plus grand nombre. L’une est une thèse de doctorat et l’autre un mémoire de maîtrise en théologie. La thèse traite de la problématique de la révélation et de l’herméneutique, car par la révélation Dieu se fait connaître, et par l’herméneutique, l’homme cherche ce qui a été révélé. Le mémoire traite de la polygamie en République centrafricaine en rapport avec la révélation. L’auteur fait comprendre la cohérence entre les deux œuvres pourtant écrites à plus de dix ans d’intervalle : si l’herméneutique n’est pas appropriée, la révélation ne sera pas comprise et l’application de la révélation dans la vie ne pourra être correcte.

Le lecteur comprendra à travers les écrits des contributeurs qu’Isaac Zokoué a collaboré avec plusieurs responsables d’églises de divers caractères et de diverses dénominations.
