Historiographic Re-interpretation of Identity formation in Acts 15: A Social Identity Complexity paradigm
Acts 15:1-35 has been interpreted from different perspectives for decades, and several results were obtained from these methods, the historical-critical method (Dibelius, 2004; Haenchen 1985, Feminist criticism Fiorenza, 1999), among others. The multiplicity of identities has been a topical subject in contemporary times, as shown by the prevalence of scholarly conversations and literature. It is imperative to note that identity formation occurs i…

Re-reading the Parable of the Good Samaritan in the Context of Covid-19 Pandemic in Africa: A Narrative Paradigm
The parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10: 25-37) is one of the most illustrious stories on human relations among the teachings of Jesus Christ. One of the critical questions among scholars is whether the parable should be understood as a mere story of loving a neighbour offering empathy and kindness to people in need, or as an allegory. This study interrogates the parable of the Good Samaritan as an allegory about the COVID-19 pandemic in Afric…
Pauline ethics in the context of the socio-political problems in Zimbabwe
The ethics of Paul has been a subject of research for decades, and they have been applied in various contexts globally. Paul was a founder and nurturer of various early Christian assemblies. He addressed moral matters in these assemblies of groups of concerned people. Recent New Testament scholars have indicated that Paul’s ethical teachings were meant to fit the particular needs of the congregations he had established. However, the principles dr…
Christian women bearing the brunt of burden during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic in Zimbabwe: A social gender justice perspective
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019 brought untold suffering to Christian women as they are the custodians of the families. A considerable number of people have succumbed to the COVID-19 pandemic globally. The hardest hit were women in hospitals, villages and families, owing to the fact that they looked after the sick. During lockdowns, the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the already existing gender disparities, with far-reaching implicat…
Religion and Politics in the context of Covid-19 Narratives: A Critical Discourse Analysis Approach
The end of the year 2019 brought to the world a new and problematic coronavirus which has claimed many lives in various parts of the world. The human race is still perplexed by the viciousness of the novel disease since the worldwide death toll continued to rise. This resulted in the World Health Organisation (WHO) declaring the COVID-19 pandemic as a public health threat globally and it announced a raft of mitigatory measures to be undertaken by…

Re-reading Luke's community: The ambivalence of location and identification from a social identity complexity lens
This article interrogates and examines the community of Luke and the ambivalence of the location, composition, and identity problematics issues through the Social Identity Complexity perspective (SIC hereafter). The fundamental questions which this article seeks to grapple with are: Was the community of Luke Corinth, Ephesus, or Antioch? Which social boundary markers were erected among the multiple and complex social groups within the community o…
Exploring Africanisation of the University Curriculum in Zimbabwe: An Afrocentric Approach
Conversations about Africanisation of university curriculum are part of the epistemic crisis and efforts to debunk Eurocentric thinking characterised by binarisms, racial biases and discriminatory attitudes towards Africans. An Afrocentric perspective troubles conceptualisation of notions of African humanity vis-à-vis the vexing question of epistemological trajectories undertaken in postcolonial Zimbabwe. This study focuses on African efforts to …
Re-reading xenophobic discourses from an ubuntu perspective: A study of the plight of ‘makwerekwere’ in Mhlongo’s After Tears
Classification of African migrants in South Africa as undesirable, economic parasites, illegals, among other derogatory terms, characterises current xenophobic discourses and foregrounds frontiers that divide people in Africa. Xenophobia violates the philosophy of ubuntu/Vumunhu/Umunhu and the parable of the Good Samaritan which define humanity as diverse but collective. Drawing from this philosophy and parable as prisms through which xenophobic …
Re-thinking the dynamics of a pluralistic society in Acts 15: 1-35 And contemporary Zimbabwean society: A Narratological Approach
From time immemorial, ethnic diversity in society often resulted in conflict instead of cooperation. Religion played a pivotal role in uniting or dividing people. In the New Testament world, James Dunn (2006) describes the dynamics of a pluralistic society as that of unity in diversity. Furthermore, other prominent scholars in the New Testament studies such as Haenchen (1985:467) and Witherington (1998:439) aptly describe Acts 15:1-35 as a “turni…
