Über das Buch

Rezension

„[...] ist das Buch ein großer Gewinn für die wissenschaftliche Welt, und zwar längst nicht nur in Nigeria oder anderen afrikanischen Ländern, sondern gerade auch für die westliche Leserschaft und die akademische Welt. Denn sie eröffnet nicht nur wichtige konkrete Einblicke in den interreligiösen Dialog und die religiöse Bildungsarbeit in Nigeria, sondern macht Wissenschaftlern im Westen auch eine Fülle von Werken nigerianischer und anderer afrikanischer Autoren und Autorinnen zugänglich.“

– Claudia Jahnel in: Theologische Literaturzeitung, 146 (2021) 12

Zum Inhalt

The proposed ‘dialogical understanding of evangelization as a means of empowering young people in Nigeria’ opens up a new avenue of handling matters concerning the development of young people especially in Nigeria. Since it is about social transformation that transforms not only human beings but also human society, it is a formation that is oriented towards the full humanization of the young people. It teaches them to stand for justice and confront power that suppresses people in the society.
