Christian Faith at the African Cultural Crossroads: Contextual Hermeneutics, Dual Allegiance, and Transformative Mission in Zambia

Christian Faith at the African Cultural Crossroads examines how Christianity can engage African cultures without either condemning them indiscriminately or accepting every traditional belief uncritically. Focusing particularly on Zambia and African Adventism, the book explores cultural identity, biblical interpretation, ancestors, dreams and visions, funeral rituals, death, spiritual insecurity, dual allegiance, and resurrection hope. It proposes a biblically grounded framework of critical contextualization that helps churches address African existential concerns while guiding believers toward an integrated Christian identity. Combining theological scholarship with pastoral application, the book equips pastors, theologians, students, and church leaders to develop culturally meaningful and spiritually transformative approaches to Christian mission in Africa.
