CHURCH, UNIVERSITY AND THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION IN MALAWI
Kenneth R. Ross (ed.)
This small book brings together information which is indispensable to a proper understanding of the exciting cooperation between Church and University in theological education which has been developed in Malawi. It includes the Report which was produced by a special Commission on the Future of Theological Education which sat in 1993-94 and also provides details of the programmes which are offered at Diploma, Bachelor's and postgraduate levels. For those who are considering how to maximise scarce resources to develop viable theological education in the context of the developing world, this book presents a dynamic and successful model.

  MONFORTIANS IN MALAWI
Their Spiritual and Pastoral Approach
Hubert Reijnaerts, Ann Nielsen and Matthew Schoffeleers
A common misconception found in popular and scholarly literature is that "the missionaries" are a homogeneous category about whom one can make broad generalisations. To promote understanding, this thorough documentation of the work of the Montfort missionaries in Malawi was published.

  AFRICA FOR THE AFRICAN
Joseph Booth, edited by Laura Perry
In 1897, it was quite unusual for a missionary to publish a book entitled "Africa for the African". This book, which was not welcomed by the colonial government in Malawi, was first published in 1897 in the USA and is now, for the first time, published in Malawi. Laura Perry has reproduced the text of Booth's second edition, compared it to the first edition and added explanatory footnotes.

  GOLDEN BUTTONS

GUARDIANS OF THE LAND
J.M. Schoffeleers (ed.)
There are few books in print on Traditional Religion in Central Africa. We are therefore happy to offer this reprint of the book Matthew Schoffeleers edited in 1979 in the Zambeziana Series on the traditional territorial cults. Over the years it has become a classic in its own right.

  THEOLOGY COOKED IN AN AFRICAN POT
Klaus Fiedler, Paul Gundani, Hilary Mijoga (eds.)
Since Christianity is spread by translation and inculturation, it is no wonder that Africa is 'cooking' its own theology in so many ways, from Independent Churches to modern Catholic liturgies. Such cooking compares well to what happened in Medieval Europe and relates to similar processes in India.

  IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THEM EQUAL
Janet Y. Kholowa, Klaus Fiedler
Recently, in Malawi, there has been much discussion concerning the equality of men and women. This little book carefully explains the relationship of men and women in the first three chapters of the Bible, and comes to a conclusion quite different from what many people think: In the beginning God created them equal.
