In light of Paul's teachings in 1 Corinthians, could these practices for honouring ancestors be perceived as idolatrous? Expanding on this comparison, Dr. Samantha Chambo expertly investigates the transformative power of rituals, examining the capacity of the Lord's Supper to impact our relationships with God and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeaving together African spirituality, ritual practices, and Pauline theology, Dr. Chambo offers a unique and culturally informed perspective through the lens of Victor Turner's ritual theory of liminality and communitas. Practical applications to ecclesiastical issues come together with an indigenous spiritual perspective to fulfil the need for a comprehensive exploration of the intersection of African ritual meals and Paul's teachings in 1 Corinthians 8-11. This fresh and innovative work is an essential read for scholars, theologians, and individuals interested in the dynamic interplay of cultural practices and religious teachings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samantha Chambo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1839739525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839739521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Langham Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Samantha Chambo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46880854180095,"sku":"9781839739521","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2295bde6-6a83-4958-94db-c28ceac9373e.jpg?v=1747969924","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/feasting-with-demons-or-with-samantha-chambo-9781839739521","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
