Majority world theology – New books
As well as a good number of donations, several new purchases were added to our library this month. Some of these purchases were bought following excellent reviews in the International Bulletin of Mission Research (IBMR), and others on the recommendations of staff teaching world Christianity in the Divinity Faculty, University of Cambridge.
One of the books is a recently published one from the Majority World Theology series by Eerdmans: Gene L. Green, Stephen T. Pardue, K.K. Yeo, editors (2016) The Spirit over the earth: pneumatology in the Majority World.
This important series seeks to gather well-regarded Christian thinkers from the majority world to discuss the significance of Christian teaching in their particular context. Have you read them? Three books have been published so far. You can find them by searching for ‘Majority world theology series’ on iDiscover. We have them all in our library.
Another of the books: Douglas Jacobs (2015) Global gospel : an introduction to Christianity on five continents Baker Academic has an excellent review from Todd E. Johnson, Fuller Theological Seminary:
“Writing with equal parts clarity and comprehensiveness, Jacobsen has created a text that introduces the histories of the Christian churches around the world. With its helpful graphics and lucid writing, this book is sure to become a standard textbook and reference work.” Todd E. Johnson, Fuller Theological Seminary
