  • The Urgent Demands of the Present: Missiological Discernment in a Wounded World

    Paul Kollman, Paul V KollmanARTICLEMission Studies2022References: 16

    This article considers implications of the IAMS 15th Assembly theme “Powers, Inequalities, and Vulnerabilities: Mission in a Wounded World.” After describing the theme’s origins and reflecting on wounds and woundedness in Christian mission, it develops a framework to consider missiology shaped by the theme, that is, when prioritizing mission as constituted by its setting in a wounded world shaped by powers, inequalities, and vulnerabilities. Afte…

  • What Can Theology Contribute to Cultural Anthropology

    Paul Kollman, Paul V KollmanBOOKTheologically Engaged Anthropology2018

    After considering the author’s personal history engaging theology and anthropology, this chapter examines the consequences of Robbins’ influential 2006 article on the disciplines’ relationship. Robbins’ decision to focus on theologian John Milbank to make the case unintentionally discouraged consideration of other theologians who draw upon anthropological theory. Informed by the author’s own research on missionary activity in Africa and how theol…

  • Understanding the World-Christian Turn in the History of Christianity and Theology

    Open AccessPaul Kollman, Paul V KollmanARTICLETheology Today2014

    Growth in Christianity has spurred the appearance of the subfield of world Christianity, whose assumptions increasingly shape scholarship on Christianity. What I term the world-Christian turn, which is often linked to mission studies, yields more comprehensive approaches to the Christian past, connecting local histories of Christian communities to larger-scale historical movements and producing innovative comparative perspectives on Christianity …

  • Generations of Catholics in Eastern Africa: A Practice-Centered Analysis of Religious Change

    Open AccessPaul Kollman, Paul V KollmanARTICLEJournal for the Scientific Study…2012Cited by: 5References: 13

    This article considers how well Martin Riesebrodt's practice-centered theory of religion addresses religious change among Catholics in eastern Africa. Two arguments are advanced using a generational change scheme. First, Riesebrodt's focus on religious practices assists in understanding many changes that African Catholics and their communities have experienced over time. It acknowledges believers' perspectives and the impact of missionaries, and …

  • Classifying African Christianities, Part Two: The Anthropology of Christianity and Generations of African Christians

    Paul Kollman, Paul V KollmanARTICLEJournal of Religion in Africa2010Cited by: 5

    Current approaches to classifying African Christianities include generalizing approaches like Ogbu Kalu's assertion of ongoing revival and particular studies associated with the anthropology of Christianity. Here I argue for a generational approach to African Christian communities, noting what has been achieved and what remains to be done.Two recent ethnographies show the promise in the anthropology of Christianity for fruitful comparative approa…

  • Classifying African Christianities: Past, Present, and Future: Part One

    Paul Kollman, Paul V KollmanARTICLEJournal of Religion in Africa2010Cited by: 11

    This two-part article examines the practice of classifying African Christianities, looking at past and current approaches in order to make suggestions for the future. Noting advances in such classification from the disciplines of African church history and the anthropology of Christianity, it proposes a generational approach to African Christian communities. After reviewing past approaches and identifying their shortcomings, part one shows how Pe…

  • Christianity and the African Imagination: Essays in Honour of Adrian Hastings

    Paul Kollman, Paul V Kollman et al.ARTICLEAfrican Studies Review2002Cited by: 10

    During the twentieth-century, Christendom shifted its centre of gravity to the Southern Hemisphere, Africa becoming the most significant area of church growth. This volume explores Christianity's advance across the continent, and its capturing of the African imagination. From the medieval Catholic Kingdom of Kongo to a transnational Pentecostal movement in post-colonial Zimbabwe, the chapters explore how African agents - priests and prophets, mar…
