The revelation of God
The African world view is not monolithic or homogeneous. However, that being the case, there is a strong metaphysicaland existential leaning in terms of Spirit and the world. The Spirit is the medium whereby revelation occurs for all ofcreation. African indigenous knowledge as episteme and Black liberation theology as a paradigm have something to teach outside Western dualism about the revelation of God not being linear in form. The methodologica…
Prevent the rise of a black messiah
In the late 1960s, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a United States of America (US) intelligence agency, developed what is famously known as Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO). Its mission was to surveil, misinform, misdirect and subvert or destroy black ‘subversive’ militant groups. The main intention of COINTELPRO was to ‘prevent the rise of a messiah’ who could ‘unify, and electrify, the militant black nationalist movement’. T…
The Bride of Christ with a hellish existence on earth

The journal’s publication criteria are based on high ethical standards and the rigor of the methodology and conclusions reported
Blackness and the God of the Oppressed
The state of blackness oscillates between two speculative positions: The first puts forward the irrelevance of race in the modern technological period, a view often coming from those who are colour blind and “optimistic” futurists. The second postulates the need to reaffirm the condition of blackness in a racist and capitalistic production‐driven society. The article argues that in whatever direction technology is going, perhaps through its God c…
The irrevocable pedagogical value of the Bible
The introduction of the Bible in Africa operated on two major frontiers, firstly, the oral tradition of the missionary who possessed both the Gospel message by word and in the written text (gadget). Conversion occurred through oral ‘manipulation’ that includes an oral negation of the native’s history and worldviews. Secondly, the rise of missionary schools opened the door to the reading of the Bible. However, the black experience has revealed tha…
Who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God
Leadership is at the core of Christianity; it operates from the paradigm of God’s revelation to humanity through creation. The creation of the world and the creation of Imago Dei are markers of the service that God has maintained from creation to the fulfilment of soteriology (Gn 1:26, 3 and I Cor 15:42). The early church’s worship of Christ, at least in the Didache, stemmed from the fact that this Hebrew prophet was a servant of God and was YHWH…
The black church as the timeless witness to change and paradigm shifts posed by the Fourth Industrial Revolution
The current technological and scientific developments of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) signal great leaps in human intellect and creativity. At the crossroad of great steps into the future, a future that will be determined by science and innovation, the smeared bond between theology and science recoils upon theological consideration of human intellect. Black liberation theology has stressed a change in paradigm, which takes oppression, c…
