While on the one hand, Western anthropology tends to discount the idea of supernatural powers by attempting to \"explain them away,\" on the other, Western biblical scholarship has mainly worked from the premise of \"demythologising\" them. But none of these approaches makes sense to African scholars, for whom supernatual powers constitute an integral component of their spiritual psyche.\u003cbr\u003e This book, based on an examination of over a thousand documentary sources (both classic and modern), attempts to address the issue of interpreting supernatural powers from an African worldview. The author analyzes, identifies, and critiques major hermeneutical errors and offers a \"bridging hermeneutic,\" using the method of reader response criticism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gatumu Wa Kabiro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1842275321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781842275320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paternoster Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.68d","brand":"Gatumu Wa Kabiro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44598592438527,"sku":"9781842275320","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5ae55663-b5f7-403f-a0cc-c401b9030543.jpg?v=1702383372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pauline-concept-of-supernatural-gatumu-wa-kabiro-9781842275320","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
