Feasting with Demons or with Christ? (eBook, ePUB)

An African Spiritual Reading of Ritual Meals in 1 Corinthians 8:1-11:1 and 11:17-34

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The tradition of African ritual meals is an interesting topic of discussion in the fields of religious studies and cultural anthropology. In light of Paul's teachings in 1 Corinthians, could these practices for honouring ancestors be perceived as idolatrous? Expanding on this comparison, Dr. Samantha Chambo expertly investigates the transformative power of rituals, examining the capacity of the Lord's Supper to impact our relationships with God and others. Weaving together African spirituality, ritual practices, and Pauline theology, Dr. Chambo offers a unique and culturally informed perspective through the lens of Victor Turner's ritual theory of liminality and communitas. Practical applications to ecclesiastical issues come together with an indigenous spiritual perspective to fulfil the need for a comprehensive exploration of the intersection of African ritual meals and Paul's teachings in 1 Corinthians 8-11. This fresh and innovative work is an essential read for scholars, theologians, and individuals interested in the dynamic interplay of cultural practices and religious teachings.
