God, People and Power in Malawi (Kachere Monographs)

"Between 1992 and 1994 Malawi underwent a remarkable transition from dictatorship of democracy. Truly a transformation of power! Yet this period of profound change raised many issues of power and accountability. In this book some of the key questions are explained and addressed from a theological perspective. The work originated as a case study on the affirmation that "all exercise of power is accountable to God" within the World Council of Churches "Theology of Life" programme. It is now presented as a Kachere Monograph in the belief that it will not only contribute to the reconstruction of politics in Malawi but also be an important resource for all those concerned with the formation of a viable theology of power for today's world."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
