Christianity and sport
Sport has often been regarded as irrelevant to Christianity, and most scholarship has not given it sufficient attention. The objective of this study is to explore the nexus between religion and sport and to examine how both contribute to social cohesion and community development. This study employs literary analysis by examining and interpreting the Bible, and relevant secondary Christian literature by interrogating how Christianity relates to sp…
Jesus Christ and women
This research examines how Jesus Christ’s engagement with women carries theological significance and explores the consequences of this reality for the life and practice of churches in Nigeria. The study begins by analysing the inclusive transformative nature of Jesus’ ministry, which upheld the value of women in a society that often sidelined them. It acknowledges that Jesus’ treatment of women represented not just social reform, but God’s purpos…
Theological response to insurgency in Nigeria
Nigeria’s ongoing struggle with insurgency has led to one of the most serious crises in its contemporary history, resulting in shattered communities, deep scars and a lingering atmosphere of insecurity. This research utilised a theological analysis grounded in Scripture, African theology and global perspectives on liberation and reconciliation to investigate how the church can effectively engage with insurgency. Methodologically, it relies on bib…
Jesus and disability
Jesus Christ remains a grand model for the church in many ways. Particularly, Jesus’ attitude and actions towards people with disabilities remain exemplary for the contemporary church. Advocacy for people with disabilities is unpopular, and their voices are unheard even in the academic space. Oftentimes, disability studies are yet to receive adequate engagement from biblical, exegetical and theological standpoints. This study employed literary in…
The Significance of Jesus’ Resurrection in the Gospel of John
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the decisive climax of John’s testimony that Jesus is the “Son of God.” There would not have been a resurrection if there had been no death, but death does not guarantee a resurrection. Jesus’ resurrection plays the ultimate role in John’s overall argument in the fourth gospel. In peculiar ways, John presented the resurrection theme to be seen at several points in the fourth gospel. The resurrection is the most…
Jesus Christ and Insecurity in First Century Palestine as a Model for Churches in Nigeria
Jesus Christ was born into an insecure Palestinian society. The New Testament Gospel accounts provide the real-life situation that constituted insecurity in first-century Palestine. King Herod’s coordinated infanticide exercise, which targeted Jesus, is a case. New Testament scholars have not paid attention to the aspect of insecurity in first-century Palestine and how the Nigerian church and the larger society can apply insights that can be elic…
A Socio-Rhetorical Analysis of the Cosmic Christ
Due to the increasing rate of environmental degradation, unfavourable climate change, destruction of the ozone layer depletion, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and the like, attention is being given to environmental discourse. Sacred texts such as Colossians serve as heritage for theological and ethical perspective for creation vis a vis environment. The objective of this study is to elicit insights from the pericope (Colossians 1:15-20) for the advan…
Paul’s guidelines for Church Leadership in Timothy 3
The Apostle Paul has been an iconic theologian of the church. As a diverse society and a platform where there is expectation for excellence and orderliness, it is imperative for the church to be led by Christ-like, morally sound, and competent individuals. Based on media reports, most churches in Nigeria are mostly governed by individuals who have character deficit and lack leadership acumen. The church, as the body of Christ, must go back to the…
The Roles of a Pastor’s Wife in the Post-Covid 19 Pandemic Era in Reference to Evangelical Church Winning All (Ecwa) and the Salvation Army, Nigeria
The status of a pastor’s wife is an honourable position with huge responsibility. She holds a unique role in advising, encouraging, and cautioning the man who bears the responsibility of leading the church. Yet, the pastor’s wife is an often neglected discourse both in the academic and ministerial spaces. Churches like the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) adumbrate the role of the pastor’s wife both in liturgy and operations. There is a pauc…
The Disposition of Christians to Political Governance in Nigeria in Relation to Romans 12
There have been controversies about Christians’ disposition towards political leadership or civil authorities. The Apostle Paul (Romans 12:14-13:1-10) instructs Christians to submit to political authorities; given that certain Christians had shunned all restraint because of their heavenly calling and lost respect for earthly authorities. The burden of this study is the appropriate attitude required from adherents of Christianity towards unfair, u…
