The second annual conference of the Theological Society of Malawi was held at the historic Ekwendeni Campus of the University of Livingstonia from 14 to 16 September 2021. It took up the urgent theme of the decolonization of the theological curriculum. Though Malawi has been an independent country for 58 years, coloniality still stalks the land. This book calls theologians to take a lead in decolonization, while navigating the educational task in an online age. With more than twenty institutions teaching theology at tertiary level in Malawi, and now united in the Theological Society of Malawi, there is huge potential to learn from each other in developing the theological curriculum in the country. While the primary audience is unashamedly a Malawian one, this book might also prove relevant in other contexts where there is a reckoning with past and present experience of colonialism. The book is a call to action and is published in the hope that it will have lasting impact on the teaching and learning of theology in Malawi and beyond.

The Oxford Handbook of Religion and Education offers a multi-disciplinary work of scholarship and research highlighting the global significance of a critical interface of cultural and social, political, and theological importance. Drawing on historical perspective and contemporary reflection, the collection provides a uniquely transformative analysis of why the interface of religion and education is of such critical significance. With contributions from some of the leading thinkers in the field, this Handbook presents a cumulatively powerful argument to reassess the complexities of the intersection of religion and education. With ambitious and yet accessible intellectual engagements, the Handbook here furthers a central thesis: that the interface of religion and education is not merely a matter of arcane disputation about a domain of ancient origin or a rudimentary matter of formal educational process, but a vibrant domain of critical contestation fundamental to knowing, understanding, and living in the modern world.

"Studies on the history of the Blantyre Mission in Malawi often suggest that 1881 marked a turning point in the mission's tradition, following a crisis triggered by a series of scandals that resulted in the dismissal of its top leadership. Kenneth Ross challenges this interpretation, arguing that while a crisis did occur, it did not significantly disrupt the mission's work. Ross maintains that there was a strong element of continuity between the earlier and later phases of the mission, largely sustained by African missionaries trained for the work, a core group of dedicated missionary personnel, and female staff who played a vital role in maintaining the Mission's stability. Through a thorough and detailed examination of archival records, Ross's work offers a fresh and deeper understanding of the Blantyre Mission and its enduring influence - insights that previous accounts have not fully captured." Gift Wasambo Kayira, Head of the Department of History, Archaelogy and Heritage Studies, University of Malawi. "In this book Kenneth Ross enables readers to step into the footsteps of our ancestors and to closely experience the travails they endured. From this treasure trove we can discover where we are coming from, where we are, and where we want to be tomorrow. As Blantyre Synod marks its 150th anniversary in 2026, I commend this volume to all Presbyterians and to all who cherish our Malawian history". Anderson Lovemore Jester Juma Chulu, General Secretary, CCAP Blantyre Synod.

God’s love in Jesus Christ for the salvation and recreation of all things is still the hope of the world. This Christian affirmation is the reality that “holds all things” and “holds all things together.” Yet in today’s world, it is easy to understand why the church is in pain and declining in its Christian and moral influence. Rethinking Church in the 21st Century is the culmination of three years of exploration into the condition of the church around the world today. Bringing together a diverse community of Christian voices, these essays offer reflections and admonitions to ignite the hearts of pastors and leaders during the dynamic, vulnerable, and hopeful times we face. In this third volume, the contributors explore how the church should be engaged in the public space, in the face of the new opportunities and fundamental challenges confronting the global church today. These realities – missional expansion, persistent barriers to human progress, shifts in the composition and centre of gravity of world Christianity, and a growing attention to the need for the church to embrace a radically different way of life – call for a new approach to the role of faith in our public life, to the different ways of witnessing to Christ and stewarding the mysteries of Christian faith. With solid grounding in Scripture and critical reflection for authentic Christian public witness and mission, this book speaks of how the gospel of Jesus Christ endlessly relates to the whole world and its reconciliation with God.

This book offers a critical understanding of the interface between holiness and intercession. The author reflectively narrates some of the selected biblical personalities and how holy living was exemplified in their interceding for others. Critically, the book argues that holiness in its intrinsic nature is about intercession for others. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, holiness is all about intercession, as has been ably demonstrated in this book starting with Abraham, Moses, David, and Solomon and going all the way to Jesus Christ, who sits on the right hand of God interceding for us.

Since its first publication in 1977, Politics and Christionity in Malawi has been recognised as one of the most successful studies to be made of the impact of a Christian mission in Africa. Starting with a survey of the economy of Malawi in the mid nineteenth century, the book goes on to examine the home background of the Livingstonia Mission of the Free Church of Scotland and the influence of David Livingstone upon it. It then describes the failure of "Christianity and Commerce" around the South end of Lake Malawi and the subsequent positive response which the mission evoked among the peoples of northern Malawi. The function and character of the Overtoun Institution - possibly the most influential mission in South Central Africa - is described in detail as is the mission's economic and educational impact. African responses and the relationship between Christianity and Politics dominate the second half of the book. Comprehensive reassessments are made of the origins of the Watch Tower Movement, the growth of Christian independency and the character of inter - war political associations. The reprint of the 2000 edition is published in recognition of the 150th anniversary of the establishment of Livingstonia Mission. "...a model, not easily surpassed, of mission history which is also genuinely social history drawing together a network of very varied themes." Adrian Hastings "It has become the basic scholarly book for Malawian Church History." Klaus Fiedler "... a book of great interest, rich with insights which illuminate the activities of the missionaries and the reactions of African Christians... a major work of fundamental importance to Africanists." Richard Gray
