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…

Domestic workers in Nigerian Christian families
The erosion of traditional work roles which had been male biased has led to the increase of women in the workplace. Although a welcomed development, it has an attendant problem – a vacuum in the homestead. Consequently, families are filling this vacuum by employing various hands (houseboys and girls, maids and nannies) to handle the house chores in the absence of parents. Being part of the society and mostly affected by female personnel (as Islam…
Formulating a biblical teaching on sex for Nigerian Christian couples
The issue of sexual relations between spouses is a major cause of broken homes in Nigeria and Christian couples are not an exception. People believe that a large percentage of broken homes have the root of their problem traced to sex. The preponderance of broken homes (and homes under tension of crises) notwithstanding, most studies in this area have been from the socio-scientific and medical cum psychological point of view and many more have foc…

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…
Narratological reading of poverty-related parables (Lk 12
Nigeria is an example of developing countries characterised by mass poverty in the midst of plenty. Coincidentally, the Nigerian church is stupendously rich. Pastor Emmanuel, a former National Coordinator of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Germany, notes that the annual revenue of the Nigeria church in 2014 is over ₦3 trillion while surprisingly, the national budget is ₦4.69tn for the year. Gigantic buildings, exotic cars and private jets a…
An Afro-Sociological Application of the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16
The main objective of this paper is to interpret the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus from the African perspective which the author believes is very close to the first-century Palestinian world-view and to look at its sociological implications for the contemporary African believer and Church. In doing this, the paper briefly examines the interpretation given the parable by some Western scholars before analyzing the parable based on its context…
