MoreLong description:
This book considers how teaching in the Gospels and the practice of prayer and fasting can be interpreted in an African context. It highlights African understandings of key aspects of Christology, analysing Jesus’s identity and embodiment of prayer. The author engages with a New African Biblical Criticism approach and draws on the historical context of first-century Judeo-Christianity. Critiquing certain practices within African Christianity, the study encourages a shift away from focusing on the duration, location and materialistic outcomes of prayer and fasting towards an emphasis on both spiritual and character development. The book will be of particular interest to scholars of African religion, theology and biblical studies.
