This study examines the role of Christianity in Liberia under the corrupt regime of Samuel K. Doe (1980-1990). Paul Gifford shows that, in general, Liberian Christianity--far from being a force for justice and human advancement--diverted attention from the cause of Liberia's ills, left change to God's miraculous intervention, encouraged obedience and acceptance of the status quo, and thus served to entrench Doe's power. This Christianity, devised in and controlled from the United States, thus furthered regional American economic and political objectives, which were designed to support Doe's rule.

The true story of mission has been deeper, wider, and far more diverse than many Christians in countries with long histories of church presence have realized. The authors in Reflecting God’s Glory Together: Diversity in Evangelical Mission drive that point home in a variety of ways. From Filipino and Ghanaian missionary work in North American cities, to Canadian work among the Chinese diaspora, to African-American work in Zimbabwe, the authors help us begin to grasp just how many ways evangelicals in mission are truly going from and coming to everywhere as they follow Christ’s mandate to reach the nations. Diverse voices utilizing diverse strategies pursuing a common call: these result in a mosaic whose larger pattern glorifies the God who came to live among us—and who continues to send us out in the pattern God so clearly established. As editors, Beth and Scott invite you to explore the stories embedded in that marvelous mosaic that we have been privileged to collect for this volume.

In 2006, the contemporary American Pentecostal movement celebrated its 100th birthday. Over that time, its African American sector has been markedly influential, not only vis-à-vis other branches of Pentecostalism but also throughout the Christian church. Black Christians have been integrally involved in every aspect of the Pentecostal movement since its inception and have made significant contributions to its founding as well as the evolution of Pentecostal/charismatic styles of worship, preaching, music, engagement of social issues, and theology. Yet despite its being one of the fastest growing segments of the Black Church, Afro-Pentecostalism has not received the kind of critical attention it deserves. Afro-Pentecostalism brings together fourteen interdisciplinary scholars to examine different facets of the movement, including its early history, issues of gender, relations with other black denominations, intersections with popular culture, and missionary activities, as well as the movement’s distinctive theology. Bolstered by editorial introductions to each section, the chapters reflect on the state of the movement, chart its trajectories, discuss pertinent issues, and anticipate future developments.

This book tells the rich and often heroic story of the press in Liberia. Early newspapers were infused with a broad race consciousness which gave way to a specific nationalism at the turn of the last century. Initially, newspapers featured biting social commentary and enjoyed wide latitude to criticise officials, but restrictions were soon applied. Exploring the uses and abuses of power, the author demonstrates that the experience of Liberia provides a sobering corrective to the current euphoria regarding the effects of globalisation.

People of stature do not emerge in a vacuum but are influenced by cultural, environmental, psychosocial, economic, and other factors. Father J. D. K. Baker was one of these people of stature. Priest of the Episcopal Church in Liberia, he was a great religious and spiritual leader, a role model in Liberia. In Image and Influence, author Bertha Baker Azango offers a biography of Baker’s life to help appreciate his deep emotional commitment, his trials and difficulties, and the rationales behind his selfless benevolence and virtuous disposition. Marking the centennial anniversary of his birth, 1893 to 1993, this story about his lineage, life, and work is based on documentary evidence from his family Bible, a diary he kept for forty-five years, and personal experiences reported orally by his children, nephews, nieces, and others associated with his family. Image and Influence documents Baker’s five visions received throughout forty-seven years, beginning with his early vision at age eleven and later dreams that gave purpose to a boy who lived on the coast of West Africa when it was called “dark.” Baker’s prophetic dreams predicted civil wars and migration of Liberians to become refugees. A story of faith, determination, and love of God and family, Image and Influence is filled with historical events, discoveries, glamour, pain, sadness, and joy. It interweaves Baker’s story with the real-life happenings of the Grebo people and others in Liberia. It shows how one man’s love and abiding faith in God could, and did, move an entire country.
