Jean-Paul II n'a pas été le premier pape des temps modernes à se rendre en Afrique. Mais aucun pape n'aura fait preuve, comme lui, d'une attention aussi soutenue, d'une sollicitude quasi maternelle envers l'Afrique, où il s'est rendu à maintes reprises. Ce livre fait parcourir et revivre, à travers des récits évocateurs et des témoignages inédits, les grandes étapes de l'apostolat de Jean-Paul II en faveur de l'Afrique.

....Autrement dit, plutot que de se demander ce qu'une organisation regionale peut nous apporter, travaillons chaque jour pour que notre pays soit, chaque jour, un signe d'esperance pour les ensembles regionaux. Qu'il soit plus attractif, plus competitif dans divers domaines. Creons a l'interieur de nos frontieres un espace de paix, de liberte, de bonne gouvernance. Rapprochons nous, dans chaque domaine, dans chaque secteur, des normes internationales. Faisons ce que les marqueteurs appellent le benchmarching, c'est-a-dire, etudions la maniere dont les autres creent et entretiennent le succes pour l'adapter a notre contexte.

This detailed study by Jutta Sperber shows how the magisterium of the Roman-Catholic Church, the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue and various parts of the Muslim world from Saudi Arabia to Iran have been engaged in Christian-Muslim dialogues. The mainly anthropological topics range from tolerance and human dignity, the position of women and children, media and education, to mission, resources and nationalism. They paint an interesting picture of the position of Man before God and the world in both Christianity and Islam.

How has Pope Francis’s groundbreaking document on marriage and family, Amoris Laetitia, been implemented in Africa? In Asia? In Latin America? In this volume, scholars from across these regions reflect on their experiences, correcting the overly western focus of most reactions to AL. The contributions look at local issues like polygamy in Africa, as well as more global issues in a local context, like feminism in Indonesia and synodality in Colombia. The reader will find that concerns about marriage and family can be similar throughout the world or specific to different contexts. As a whole, the book contributes to a more diverse and revisited catholic understanding of marriage and family.

The volume is significant in bringing together voices of African women theologians and their allies on the urgent topic of ecology. First, it decisively intervenes into scholarly discourses on ecofeminism by highlighting the reflections of African women scholars and African women as subjects. This function of the volume is very important both at local and global levels. Second, it contributes to contextualizing of scriptural interpretation around the issue of ecology. Biblical reflection occurs throughout the volume and is put into dialogue with African traditions, with ecofeminism, with Africa-based mission projects, and with the current crisis of sustainability and African women’s roles in protecting the earth. Third, the volume includes several concrete case studies based on interviews and grassroots qualitative research, as well as especially original articles that integrate biblical exegesis of Genesis with reflections on patriarchal legal systems in Botswana, and an original take on “male headship” in relation to ecofeminism. – Professor Dana L.
