{"product_id":"lived-islam-in-africa","title":"Lived Islam in Africa","description":"Islam and Christianity are often presented as violent rivals facing each other across a gulf\nof insurmountable differences. Yet if Christians are to effectively engage Muslims with the\ngospel, they must learn to build bridges across this divide.\nThis study explores the Muslim presence in Ghana, a nation once believed to be \nresistant to Islam, and analyses the missiological implications for Pentecostals, the fastest \ngrowing group of Christians in the country. Dr. Dieudonne Komla Nuekpe examines the \nshared spiritual heritage of Ghanaian Pentecostals and folk Muslims within the broader \ncontext of African traditional religion. He proposes that this shared heritage – with its \nemphasis on supernatural encounters and the spiritual realm – can provide common \nground for Pentecostals seeking to peacefully and respectfully engage Muslims with the \ngospel. Identifying the existential, experiential, and theological needs at the heart of folk \nIslam, this book offers a practical guide for constructive Muslim-Christian engagement in \nGhana and beyond. This study also challenges missiologists – both scholars and \npractitioners – to engage in critical contextualization that considers a culture’s indigenous \nreligious practices when seeking to build bridges to the gospel.","brand":"Dieudonne Kolma Nuekpe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44145554981076,"sku":"9781839737466","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9351\/9316\/files\/10097007_LRG.jpg?v=1776268677","url":"https:\/\/etcevents.co.uk\/products\/lived-islam-in-africa","provider":"ETCEvents","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
