Download Polygyny and the African Church Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Women, and especially in Africa have been demeaned and oppressed for along time. In my book, I have proposed that the Church needs to work in solidarity with the suffering so as to realize the reign of the mystery of Christ amongst us.By developing the image of 'the people of God' the Church will enhance the empowerment of women on their rights, raising awareness on the effects of polygyny, involving women in decision making. Mercy Amba Oduyoye (1995), states "A Church that consistently ignores the implications of the gospel for the lives of women and other underclass cannot continue to an authentic voice for salvation" (182). The ecclessiology of the people of God is a better model of the Church because of its emphasis on equality, and full participation of all members, clergy and laity. The deprivation of women's rights cannot be allowed in the 21st century, it is the role of the Church more especially in Africa, to liberate women from their systematic oppressions.

Download Divorce, a Debacle Or a Panacea? A Rethink from Biblical Evaluation Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Theology - Miscellaneous, course: BIBLICAL STUDIES AND THEOLOGY, language: English, abstract: Marriage is an integral part of man's social life; a covenant and commitment between a man and woman. At a particular stage in life, people are questioned if they are not married. Yet, some people see the cure for unhappy marriage as separation (divorce), it's often rather a problem than a solution; meanwhile, the society is heavily affected. Divorce remains a severe crisis; it inflicts pains on people concerned, children and the society at large. Many have seen the marriage covenant "till death do us part" as an unrealistic and obsolete phrase. Day by day majority of homes (especially the Christians) are faced with the threat of divorce in the contemporary society. People no longer take marriage serious with commitment for life. Divorce is the order of the day; people even say it with pride without remorse. In view of this, the research presents a discourse on the subject matter from a biblical evaluation revealing the true identity of divorce as a problem to Christian home.
