""This volume is the fruit of a pioneering multiyear, multilevel theological research project in African theology during which theologians, exegetes, bishops, pastors, theologians, bishops, and exegetes from across the continent committed themselves to sustained, serious, and creative theological thinking, conversation, and listening. The global church of Christ is the beneficiary of their determination to comprehend the questions and needs of God's people on the African continent."" --M. Shawn Copeland, author, Uncommon Faithfulness: The Black Catholic Experience ""Orobator has brilliantly gathered 19 essays from outstanding scholars with expertise in a variety of fields of African Catholic thought into a unified, yet diverse collection of essays that take readers into a critical dialogue about the past, present and future of the Catholic Church in Africa....The African Catholic church is not to be ignored any longer. The text, because of the powerful voices and great diversity of contributors, will be a welcome addition to readers seeking an increased knowledge of the pressing social, economic, moral and ecclesiological questions of the African context."" --Randall Woodard, in Catholic Books Review ""Reading these essays is like listening-in on a conversation between African scholars. It is a privilege and an eye-opener.... The book deserves a place in theological libraries and on the bookshelves of anyone who would presume to minister in Africa or beyond their own cultural milieu."" --Anthony J. Gittins in Missiology
