{"product_id":"ubuntu-peacebuilding-an-afro-christian-perspective-9781530558339","title":"Ubuntu Peacebuilding: An Afro-Christian Perspective","description":"Before there were churches, mosques, the Bible, or the Qur'an, Africans used the traditional values handed down from their ancestors to deal with conflict. These values were rooted in the concepts of togetherness and in community building and preserving. When the Bible and the Qur'an were introduced in Africa, the values and the ethics contained in these religious works were found to be compatible with traditional thought and were applied by Africans to complement their indigenous conflict-transformation skills. Fidele Lumeya shares with other Africanists the belief that African religion cannot be viewed as an anti-Judeo-Christian religion; rather, it is a lens Africans use to understand and interpret the world and God, who is unseen but whose presence is sensed. On conflict and peacebuilding issues, African religion integrates the values found in the three Abrahamic faiths: Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. This book explores the peacebuilding ethic of African religion from an Afro-Christian perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10186600\"\u003eFidele Ayu Lumeya\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.18d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781530558339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1530558336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL070000\"\u003eChristianity | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFidele Ayu Lumeya is originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where he was born and grew up.
