Christian Premarital Counselling in Africa

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Towards an African Christian Premarital Counselling is a timely, culturally sensitive, and contextually relevant offer to meet the African Christian pre-marriage counselling needs. This book explores the biblical theology of creation followed by the nature and theology of Christian marriage. Its hook is Christian Premarital Counselling in the African context. After pointedly engaging the rationale for Christian Premarital Counselling, followed by the problems and challenges in African Premarital Counselling, the author puts forward the expected qualifications for an African Christian premarital counsellor. The book hits its climax with a distinct proposal of twenty step-by-step progressive and logically arranged premarital counselling sessions. It finally settles with an in-depth uncovering of the historical baggage behind some Church wedding rituals or practices: bridal veil, wedding gown, bridesmaids, wedding ring, vows, cutting of the cake, honeymoon, etc. It transports their history into African Church wedding ceremonies from a contextually holistic approach. From start to finish, this book is tailored for Africans in particular and people of African descent in general.
