In a fragmented, fragile and fractured world, what kind of churches do we need that can speak prophetically to the nations? We are living through a suffering context and a polarized world that requires a new ecclesiology, that is, way of doing church. Polyphonic God introduces the idea that the Trinity speaks more than one language and inhabits multiple worldviews, yet is one in essence. It offers new interdisciplinary perspectives on ecclesiology and missiology. This book envisions a re-imagined church that is intercultural, intergenerational and interdenominational.In Polyphonic God, theologians and practitioners together contend that intercultural churches are significant in multicultural British society, and serve to create a counter-cultural kingdom narrative demonstrating how we can find unity in the midst of diversity and how this can enrich the lives of everybody involved.

Introducing an emerging academic field known as African British Theologies, this publication explores the significant presence of African Christianity in Britain. Featuring contributions from twelve scholarly African pastors engaged in ministry and theology in Britain, this book is a unique expression of theology from African Christians, contextualizing the gospel for a multicultural British society.Under three key areas of missiology, contextual constructive theology and transformative practical theology the contributors interact with topics such as reverse missiology, African pneumatology, prosperity gospel, and urban mission. This book rigorously examines new contexts of Christianity and articulates new theological perspectives that are required to understand twenty-first-century ministry, not only in urban Britain, but also across the world.
