The Female Ordination Debate: Theological Reflections
( Daniel Dei ),( Robert Osei Bonsu ) 삼육대학교 선교와사회문제연구소 2015 Asia-Africa Journal of Mission and Ministry(AAMM) Vol.11 No.-
In recent times, the debate over whether to ordain women into pastoral ministry or not has occupied center stage in some mainline churches. The two main opposing sides in the debate, complementarians and egalitarians, each present arguments from Theology, Religion, Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy, History, and Anthropology to elucidate their propositions. While complementarians are opposed to the notion of ordaining women, egalitarians strongly affirm women ordination. This article theologically reflects on this debate. The paper concludes that there is no valid biblical, theological, or traditional endorsement of the position to exclude women from the Gospel Ministry as ordained ministers.
Striving for Effective Leadership in Africa: A Case for Ethical Leadership
( Daniel Dei ),( Robert Osei-bonsu ),( Isaac N. Dowuona ) 삼육대학교 선교와사회문제연구소 2016 Asia-Africa Journal of Mission and Ministry(AAMM) Vol.13 No.-
This article attempts a case for ethical leadership in Africa. The study reveals that ethical leaders have strong personal characters: passion to do the right; are proactive; consider stakeholder’s interests; are role models for decision-making in their group; and make transparent decisions. Linking these features to the current socio-economic problems that beset the continent of Africa, the study concludes that much of this suffering could be averted if post-colonial African leadership would commit itself to setting a blueprint for what the corporate culture should be in terms of shared goals and values.
Significance of Experience, Proclamation, and Modeling in Paul’s Model of Discipleship
( Daniel Dei ) 삼육대학교 선교와사회문제연구소 2022 Asia-Africa Journal of Mission and Ministry(AAMM) Vol.25 No.-
It is pointed out that mission is the church’s primary task. Mission is God’s universal invitation to all persons to confess Jesus’ sovereignty and acknowledge this sovereignty in their thoughts, actions, and emotional expressions (Rom 14:11; Phil 2:11). Missiologists and theologians have proposed several strategies for effective Christian missions. However, some of these approaches involve activities that often undermine the culture of the recipient community, thereby affecting the goal of mission-discipleship. This article proposes that Paul’s model of discipleship can sustain a functional model for effective Christian discipleship in Africa. The article demonstrates various ways in which Paul’s experience, proclamation, and modeling enhanced his quest to disciple people of different cultures. The article recommends Paul’s discipleship model as a standard for effective Christian discipleship in African societies today.
Graded Absolutism is Still Inadequate: A Response to Norman Geisler
( Robert Osei Bonsu ),( Daniel Dei ) 삼육대학교 선교와사회문제연구소 2015 Asia-Africa Journal of Mission and Ministry(AAMM) Vol.12 No.-
This article examines the Christian ethical concept of graded absolutism with a special attention to its advantages and disadvantages. Advantages of Christian graded absolutism are: it avoids relativism; it successfully answers moral conflicts; and it makes sense of the Cross. The disadvantages of Christian graded absolutism are: difficulty in determining the hierarchy of values in some instances; tendency towards relativism; susceptible to subjectivism; and lack of immediacy towards solving ethical dilemmas. Contrary to Geisler’s positive assessment of Christian graded absolutism, the study concludes that Christian graded absolutism comes close to resolving ethical dilemmas, but it is still inadequate
