Youth Ministry After the Pandemic: A Practical Theology from the Global South

Youth faith formation usually takes the form of a narrow privatized or spiritualized perspective. Since young people are a critical demographic in the Global South, and Africa more specifically, their faith formation must shape them to engage public life so as to enhance human flourishing. While much of the literature on youth and theology is Western in orientation, this book makes use of scholarly sources in African and Global Christianity so as to shape youth work in the Global South. It shows that young people can help guide the African church to fulfill both the Great Commission and the Great Commandment and so achieve its spiritual and prophetic mandate. It engages with youth culture, emerging non-religious identities, digital church or ecclesiology, ecotheology and climate change, and economic justice.
