Sighs and Signs of the Spirit
This article explores the importance of Spirit-empowered scholarship for theological education. It argues that given the overwhelming presence of Christianity in such non-Western contexts as Africa and the options in these new heartlands of Christianity for theological scholarship and education that accounts for the experience of the Spirit, it is appropriate for theological education to pay attention to these developments. This is imperative for…

This art…

This article explores a number of uses of the physical bible as an instrument of spiritual mediation or power that have been practised since…
African Gifts of the Spirit
Gender, Social Change and Spiritual Power
Pentecostalism in Africa and the Changing Face of Christian Mission
Third World Christianity has been experiencing exponential growth since the turn of the twentieth century. Nowhere is this renewal in Christianity more visible than Africa, where religious innovations led by indigenous Christians have mostly been Pentecostal in character. The Pentecostal movements leading the current renewal of Christianity in African countries like Ghana are autonomous, independent of both the established historic mission denomi…
