«I would recommend this book to theological practitioners and theological scholars. Both groups of people share the same concerns which, in this case, are the context in which they find themselves, that ist, the cultural context which no human being can live without. This book opens the consciences of individuals to the issue of their need to understand their environment and be informed by the scriptures on how to address this environment.» (Mokhele Madise, Studia Historiae Ecclesiasticae)
