Disciples of All Nations, Lamin Sanneh's New Book
I was thrilled to open my post box today to find a package from Oxford University Press (blog) containing a complimentary copy of Lamin Sanneh’s Disciples of All Nations. Sanneh is a Gambian scholar whose understanding of World Christianity has richly contributed to stimulating thoughtful, post-colonial, indigenous theologies.
His book Translating the Message has immensely influenced the way I think about theology and culture. Look for more posts on this book; it will surely strengthen honest thinking about the nature and impact of global Christianity.
