Dear Corinth...Dear Nigerian Church: Power, Disorder, and the Call to Realignment in the Nigerian Pentecostal and Evangelical Movement A Call from the Letters to the Corinthians - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Nigeria has one of the largest, most vibrant Christian populations in the world. Its churches are full. Its preachers are celebrated. Its conferences fill stadiums. Its faith is loud, expressive, and impossible to ignore. And yet something is wrong. The moral climate is not shifting in proportion to the conferences. Believers are inspired every Sunday and largely unchanged by Monday. Drawing on Apostle Paul’s letters to the church at Corinth, Nigerian pastor Dr. Tominiyi Owolabi brings forty years of insider experience to a chapter-by-chapter examination of nineteen specific disorders in the contemporary Nigerian Pentecostal and Evangelical movement. Calling the Church back to the Word and to Christ, he addresses the misalignments and shifts of the church that include performance driven preaching, ministerial celebrity culture, the prosperity gospel’s distortion of the Christian life, the loss of moral courage, the silence on heaven, hell, and eternity, the manipulation of giving, the quiet erosion of sexual conviction, and the idols the church no longer recognizes as idols.

Dear Corinth … Dear Nigerian Church is both a diagnosis and a summons. A call for the Nigerian Church to recover biblical order, spiritual integrity and the centrality of Christ.
