This book gives an insight into current theological debates in the Methodist Church, with particular reference to Methodism in Southern Africa. There are a number of things that make this book valuable and unique. First, there is the variety of authors and topics. Second the variety of topics reflects key points in our social, cultural, economic and political context. Third, there is a need for up-to-date books that relate African perspectives on contemporary theological concerns. Fourth, the book does not aim to offer normative perspectives. Rather, it invites readers to become thinking Christians in our own contexts. While Christian readers of all denominations will be challenged and enriched by this book, a fifth reason the uniqueness of this contribution is that it gives contemporary expression to the spirit of John Wesley, and Wesleyan theologies, from a Southern African perspective. Not only were Wesley's interests wide ranging, as are the topics in this book, but he managed to present a theology that is simultaneously reasonable, deeply spiritual and socially engaged. That is the excellent mix that this book offers.Topics covered include: Environmental ethics, Postmodernism, African ecclesiology, Wesleyan theology, mission, gender issues, same sex, homosexuality, Biblical interpretation, Truth, youth, African theology, Methodism.
