The Apocalypse of John and Liberation Theology in Africa offers a new paradigm for interpreting the apocalypse in Africa. This book makes it clear that the Bible has been a strong force in legitimatizing colonization, as it constructed a \"self-validating\" world, in which domination appeared normal and permanent. While the Bible in the hands of Africans is reducible to a sociological current, it cannot be read in isolation from the African context. The Bible has championed the control of African culture, so Africans have come up with ways and means of recontrolling a text so zealously read and taught in the region. This book explores those new ways of reading for the liberation of the African continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumphrey Mwangi Waweru is senior lecturer of philosophy and religious studies at Kenyatta University in Nairobi, Kenya.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 15, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53486641938739,"sku":"9781666945560","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/s3xxpj-vy.myshopify.com\/products\/the-apocalypse-of-john-and-liberation-theology-in-africa-hardcover","provider":"The Celestial Starlit Phoenix ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
