| General note |
"Divided into four major sections, this textbook provides an in-depth exploration of the biblical, philosophical, cultural, and practical concerns facing African Christians as they proclaim and defend the gospel in Africa. Written by a diverse group of pastors and scholars, it provides a much needed interdisciplinary and contextualized approach to apologetics. It also seeks to bridge the gap between academic research and ministry practice, touching on such topics as hermeneutics, biblical criticism, church history, the nature of evil, religious inclusivism, Muslim-Christian engagement, eldership rites, domestic violence, cults, and the digital age. Biblically robust, contextually relevant, ministry-oriented, and accessible, this is a remarkable resource for enriching the life and ministry of Christians in Africa and beyond." -- |

Review<br/>This remarkable book is both a manual for answering specific questions and a guide to the proper spiritual disposition for one's arguments. It neither shies away from the issues, nor dissolves into inoffensive relativism. I have learned immensely from it and I believe every reader will.<br/><br/>William Edgar, DTh<br/><br/>Westminster Theological Seminary, Pennsylvania, USA<br/><br/>Providing a solid foundation for African Christians to explain their faith to non-believers, here you will find pertinent gospel responses to often confusing matters.<br/><br/>Victor Nakah, PhD<br/><br/>Mission to the World<br/><br/>This book's unique contributors are African theologians with experience grappling with African realities and the contextual realities of apologetics from an African perspective. It will have a significant impact on the development of apologetics in Africa.<br/><br/>Rev. Nathan H. Chiroma, PhD<br/><br/>Africa College of Theology, Kigali, Rwanda<br/><br/>This is a long-awaited contribution to Christian apologetics specifically addressing issues in Africa, written by authors who are familiar with our continent.<br/><br/>Henk Stoker, PhD<br/><br/>North-West University, South Africa<br/><br/>The book adopts a multi-disciplinary perspective and offers critical, contemporary and relevant responses to the issues tackled. The approach is practical and down-to-earth. Clearly and simply written, this book will be warmly welcomed by younger African readers, as well as others.<br/><br/>Aloo Osotsi Mojola, PhD<br/><br/>Professor, Philosophy and Translation Studies, St Paul's University, Kenya |
