Christian identity and justice in a globalized world from a Southern African perspective

CLF Publishers, 2014

In this global village there are strong tendencies towards uniformity. In every major city in the world you can step into a global fast-food chain or a Chinese restaurant. Preachers from other countries share their message on TV and have a following among our congregations. Contrary to this unifying force, there is also a tendency toward that which is authentic and locally embedded; like home grown food and traditionally made products, or a theology that appreciates African traditions. Globalization raises questions about our identity. Who are we, as Christians in Southern Africa? Is Christianity the same all over the world, or are there many Christianities? Should we hold fast to the fundamentals of our faith or try to find new answers for a new time? And who decides? Who is leading and who is following? Support from international organizations can help in the fight for social justice - but what if this help comes with strings attached? What do we do with these themes within our theological institutions and in the education of ministers for the 21st century?
