Abstract

This literature-based research explored the subject of Kingship Christology as portrayed in Midnight Crew’s song “Igwe.” Through an interdisciplinary approach, the paper delved into how the song articulates the Kingship of Christ from an Igbo Christian perspective. The paper critically examined the lyrics of the song, linking it with the Christian and Igbo socio-cultural worldviews. The research established that Jesus surpasses every human king (past, present and future) in every human society and serves as a perfect King whose leadership style provides a perfect model of what human leadership ought to be. This finding formed the basis for exploring key implications of Jesus’ kingship for the Igbo/African sociopolitical setting. The paper charged African leaders to adopt a Christological model of leadership characterized by humility, servanthood, transparency, accountability, inclusivity, and a deep commitment to the welfare of their communities. In addition to demonstrating the nexus between music, theology and culture, the paper contributes to African Christian scholarship on Christology, musical theology and leadership.

Abstract

John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, made significant contribution to the subject of pneumatology. Wesley’s pneumatological teachings and praxis addressed a myriad of societal issues in eighteenth-century England, including moral decay, economic disparities, discrimination, superficial religion, and oppression. Contemporary Ghana (the context of this research) is confronted with socio-religious and political issues comparable to those of Wesley’s society. This situation has prompted this research which aims to apply relevant aspects of the socio-political ramifications of Wesley’s pneumatology for addressing Ghana’s socio-religious and political challenges. The research is a literature-based research that gathered data from such sources as books, journal articles and dissertations.  A comparative approach was used, where parallels were drawn between the two contexts to facilitate a contextual application Wesley’s pneumatology for the transformation of the Ghanaian public space. The central argument is that genuine Christian spirituality should extend beyond personal domains, actively engaging with and impacting the broader public sphere to yield a holistic societal transformation. Beyond its capacity to instigate ethical rejuvenation within Ghanaian society, this paper offers valuable insights into the subjects of Christian pneumatology and public theology.

Abstract

The only church Jesus does not commend among the seven churches of Asia is the Church of Laodicea. This is as strange as it calls for a critical look at the problem of the church. As an expansion of the existing studies on the text to Laodicea, this theological study investigates the content of the letter to the church of Laodicea in Revelation 3:14-22 to identify the church’s core problem and the central message it carries. The study examines the theological understanding of the key imagery Jesus employs to describe Laodicea’s church. The main argument is that the major problem of the church is the lack of perception, and the focus of the message lies in the caution that being spiritually indifferent is perilous, but even worse is the peril that lies in being oblivious to one's spiritual state due to a shift of focus from Jesus.

Abstract

The subject of wealth and poverty is one of the major themes in the JudeoChristian Scriptures. The continent of Africa is one of the regions hugely affected by poverty. As such, there is an ongoing discourse about the biblical view of wealth and how it may be used in tackling the canker of poverty. At one breath, our contemporary materialistic culture is seducing Christians to accept the idea that poverty is a curse from God, whilst on the other extreme, wealth is viewed as an impediment to entering the kingdom of God. While a complete eradication of poverty remains a formidable challenge, particularly in vulnerable contexts, there exists an opportunity for more concerted efforts to alleviate the plight of the impoverished. As a contribution to the scholarly discourse, this paper examined what the Bible reveals about wealth and poverty and made relevant theological deductions for African church in dealing with wealth and poverty. This is timely against the backdrop that the “centre of gravity” of Christianity is in Africa which makes it befitting to address the menace of poverty from the biblical standpoint. The paper conducted a theological study of relevant biblical passages. The fact that one’s wealth does not necessarily indicate their acceptance by God and the need to share material resources were emphasized. Though the authors had the African continent in mind, the paper also applies to other contexts which share Africa’s socio-economic realities.
