Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Neuroscience-Informed Pastoral Formation Intervention (NIPFI) By Ephraim T. Gwebu, PhDThis document presents the NIPFI - a 60-hour pastoral formation curriculum designed to be piloted across four theological colleges in Zambia, Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi. Its central argument is that the recurring pastoral failures across sub-Saharan Africa (sexual misconduct, financial abuse, exploitation) are not primarily failures of doctrine but of character - and that character is a trainable brain function.Drawing on neuroplasticity research, interpersonal neurobiology (Siegel), polyvagal theory (Porges), and African Ubuntu philosophy, the NIPFI proposes that qualities essential to effective ministry - empathy, self-regulation, calm presence under pressure - are measurable, developable brain capacities, not fixed personality traits. The curriculum integrates the Neuroverse(TM) framework (Douyon) with Ubuntu anthropology as co-constitutive pillars, grounding the approach in both modern neuroscience and African relational wisdom.The document covers the theoretical rationale, curriculum design, a quasi-experimental evaluation protocol, and direct responses to theological objections (such as concerns about reducing faith to brain chemistry). It concludes with a five-commitment reform agenda for theological colleges and argues that neuroscience-informed formation strengthens rather than undermines the Christian vision of genuine character transformation - aligning the biblical call to 'renewal of the mind' (Romans 12:2) with the scientific reality of neuroplasticity.The work is commended by Bongani Ndlovu, President of the Zimbabwe West Union Conference and Chancellor of Solusi University, as a timely and practically usable contribution to reforming pastoral training across Africa.…
