Recenzii

Jeanes brings new insights on Cranmer through his careful and arduous analyses of liturgical and sacramental subtleties, and this delivers a real contribution to our understanding of Cranmer, both the liturgist and the theologian.
La diversite des contributions reunies dans ce livre, permet aux lectures de se faire une idée rapide des manieres bien differentes dont historiens, sociologues, theologiens et pratiquants analysent les developpements des christianismes africains (essentiellement Anglophones) et de la diaspora africaine.
This highly informative and illuminating volume will be an indispensable resource for students of contemporary African Christianity. It is worth noting that all the chapters contribute to a much better understanding of the present realities with regard to Africa's place as a major theater of action of world Christianity today.
This volume...shows courage and passion on the part of the contributors in addressing one of the most turbulent issues in modern history.
Its strength is the variety of topics covered, the differences in perspectives, even disciplines, and the number of authors, many from Africa who have not yet published widely.
The rapid growth of African Christianity is attracting much scholarly attention because of the nature and peculiarities of the emergent Christianity and because its expansion into the global north is reshaping the religious landscape. This book achieves much by interpreting contemporary African Christianity from four perspectives: historically, it looks back to the development of African Christianity from the nineteenth century missionary era to the recent Africanization of Anglicanism. It is attentive to gender, to the explosion of charismatic Pentecostalism without ignoring the African Instituted Churches, and to the various aspects of immigrant Christianities in Germany, Netherlands and the United Kingdom. It weaves African church history into African American and Caribbean fabrics. This is a genuine attempt to underscore the vitality and global significance of a southern Christianity after Christendom and includes the voices of over a dozen African scholars. An important and rich resource for teaching and evaluating contemporary African Christianity.
An Aladdin's cave of a book, richly stocked with materials, some provocative, some informative, many illuminating. Since Africa is now one of the principal theatres of action of the Christian faith, the insights provided into the living and thinking of contemporary African Christians, both in Africa and beyond, are particularly valuable.
The brief overviews and specific focuses represent many years of rich interdisciplinary scholarship on Christianity in Africa and the diaspora, and reading the author's analysis is a rewarding experience.
