The Suffering Servant in Isaiah 53 and Its Relevance to African Christian Perspectives on Suffering and Redemption
Suffering, though universal and inevitable, most of the time, is not pleasant. The contemporary African Christians experience physical, psychological and emotional traumas as do many others globally. Traditionally, Christian theology has understood Isaiah 53 as a prophetic anticipation of the passion, death, and atoning work of Jesus Christ. Yet, in the African context—marked by historical and ongoing experiences of systemic poverty, political un…
When the Church becomes Loveless
Most previous works on Revelation 2:1-7 reiterate that the message of the letter to the church of Ephesus is the leaving of her first love and the attendant warning to the church to return to the first love if she did not want her candlestick to be removed from its place. In this article, Revelation 2:1-7 was read using the typical or representative reading. This is one of the methods of reading the letters to the seven churches to examine the le…

Barnabas
It has usually been accepted that the success of any organisation or nation depends on the ability of its leader to govern and manage its affairs. The failure of most developing countries, especially Nigeria, has often been blamed on bad leadership. Most Nigerians are of the opinion that the leadership problem in Nigeria has been the major impediment in the nation’s development. Most people also agree that corruption and bad governance, which are…
