Religious Leaders and the Regime in the Second Republic of Zimbabwe looks at the nexus of religion and politics in Zimbabwe. Religious leaders and institutes are discussed as either regime enablers, resistors, or transformers. This book focuses on how religion has played a role in thwarting democracy and has acted as a machine to silence dissenting voices, repression, and poor governance. The book addresses religious figures such as Andrew Wutawunashe, Talent Chiwenga, Bishop Mutendi, and Mapostori. In discussing these figures, the book highlights how ZANU PF has taken advantage of religious power to thwart democracy while rewarding regime enablers. The book also discusses the road to 2023 Zimbabwean elections and highlights the role of the church in creating an enabling and catastrophic environment. This book challenges oppressive systems perpetrated by religious leaders and politicians.

This book discusses the leadership succession problems in the African Apostolic Church of Johanne Marange (AACJM). Claimants are biologically related to each other, and they each selectively cite laws from African and western traditions to gain ascendancy to the position of church High Priest. The book explores how succession procedures can be improved to benefit the AACJM and other AICs. The study uses conflict as a creative way of dealing with contending issues of power. The book is critical of each procedure used, and suggests how to better approach this.

This book looks at the church's understanding of, and how it can practically engage in, national reconciliation. It builds a deeper theology of reconciliation that appreciates critical social analysis and deeper theological reflection. The study builds on studies done in Croatia and South Africa, and uses the National Vision Discussion Document (NVDD) of Zimbabwe to enter the discussion. From a detailed analysis of the social context of division in Zimbabwe to the churches' approach to reconciliation, this book takes time to critically reflect on important factors such as ethnicity, racism and politics from a theological perspective. At the end, the book suggests that a new future for Zimbabwe that severs the ordeals of the past from the prospects of the future is built on a practical and logistical schema that appreciates social dynamics and theological interests of the society.
