Everyone who has “eyes to see” acknowledges the growing importance of the African church to the future of global Christianity. But what does it mean for the church to take root in Africa? How should the message of the gospel and the practice of Christianity be contextualized for Africa? African Contextual Realities addresses many of the questions surrounding contextualization from a practical point of view.

African Contextual Realities is a serious study by theologians who have an intimate grasp of African Christianity. The authors of this exciting book have met the goal of the book, namely to contextualize the Christian message. I enthusiastically recommend this book to church leaders, pastors, mission students, missionaries, etc. It is a book that scratches where the church is itching!

The articles in this book, the product of the 2017 conference of the Africa Society of Evangelical Theology, address the themes and other topics relating to the spheres of government and education in Africa to enhance our understanding of the challenges faced in African contexts. A wide range of Christian scholar-leaders provide a way forward for other church and institutional leaders who are seeking to faithfully fulfill their responsibilities of stewardship and instruction.

Governance and Christian Higher Education in the African Context is one of the books that explores the commonalities and convergences of realities in Christian higher education in Africa. I commend it to Christian institutions of higher learning and the churches that form the boards of those institutions. This book will also be of value for students as they endeavor to research and write and make thinking visible. It is both engaging and coherent, and it charts the important area of Christian higher education and it brings it into fruitful conversation in Christian theology.
