Communities of Faith is a collection of essays on the multicultural
Christian spirit and practices of churches around the world, with
particular attention to Africa and the African diaspora. The essays
span history, theology, anthropology, ecumenism, and missiology.
Readers will be treated to fresh perspectives on African
Pentecostal higher education, Pentecostalism and witchcraft in East
Africa, Methodist camp meetings in Ghana, Ghanaian diaspora
missions in Europe and North America, gender roles in South African
Christian communities, HIV/AIDS ministries in Uganda, Japanese
funerary rites, enculturation and contextualization principles of
mission, and many other aspects of the Christian world mission.
With essays from well-known scholars as well as young and emerging
men and women in academia, Communities of Faith illuminates current
realities of world Christianity and contributes to the scholarship
of today's worldwide Christian witness. "The great assumption of
this volume is that Africans, either residing on that great
continent or in diaspora around the world, are now the vibrant new
voices of a robust Christian faith which has finally left behind
the swaddling clothes of Christendom and found the strength and
vigor of its own voice. This volume is a masterful introduction to
these new voices precisely because of its diversity. Here we find
theological, contextual, anthropological, and missiological
reflections . . . revealing how nuanced and textured the African
contribution to world Christianity has already become. I can think
of no greater tribute to Tite Tienou than these essays written by
his students and friends." --Timothy C. Tennent, Asbury Theological
Seminary "This brilliant volume of twenty-five essays on many
aspects of global Christianity, with special attention to Africa
and the African diaspora, is a worthy tribute to one of our most
distinguished missiologists, Tite Tienou, whose career has spanned
three continents." --Gerald H. Anderson, Overseas Ministries Study
