Feasting with Demons or with Christ?

Dr. Chambo's work is a groundbreaking and deeply reflective study that powerfully reimagines the Lord's Supper as a dynamic, sacred ritual capable of transforming individuals and communities. This insightful exploration of 1 Corinthians 8:1-11:1 and 11:17-34 offers an invaluable contribution to both biblical scholarship and practical theology. J. Ayodeji Adewuya, PhD Professor of New Testament, Pentecostal Theological Seminary, Tennessee, USA What if Paul's discussion about meat offered to idols and the Lord's Table were read through the lens of African Traditional Religions? Dr. Chambo challenges us to rethink the notion of participation in Christ, the meaning and significance of the Lord's Table, and the shaping of communitas for the health and well-being of the ekklesia, both inside and outside of Africa. An important study that steers the path between syncretism and ""theological imperialism."" Kent Brower, PhD Senior Research Fellow in Biblical Studies, Honourary Research Fellow, University of Manchester, Nazarene Theological College, Manchester, UK This innovative and stimulating study by Dr. Chambo brings Paul's discussion of ritual meals in 1 Corinthians 8-11 into dialogue with the African cultural context of ritual practices and spirituality. It offers significant implications for understanding the Lord's Supper as a transformative practice for Christian communities both in the African context and worldwide.
