| Summary: | "The book offers a critical-trans-contextual analysis from a theological and philosophical perspectives. It constructs the poetics of mysticality and materiasticity (materiality and plasticity) as a postindigenous turn in philosophy and theological inquiry for advancing an African Pentecostal discourse of new (post)humanity in Christ which resonates with planetary turn and emerging cultural and religious materialisms. This approach is significant as African Pentecostalism is increasingly becoming life zones for reinterpretations and remediation of African cultural ideas of Muntu as a metaphor for planetarizing the Christian idea of the new humanity in Christ. The book engages some of the major themes, approaches and contemporary issues that dominate debate grounded on the history of metaphorical death within Western intellectual traditions, the fundamental meaning of the Bemba ritual epistemology with its divine liminality, critiques the postcolonial notions of Muntu, reclaims rituality to expand the account of kenotic incarnation as the condition of all creation for flourishing-becoming. Therefore, the book charts a new path on engaging the model of kenotic incarnate Christ from ritual epistemology not only as a template of new creation and new (post)humanity but a paradigmatic reality for flourishing becoming of all things"-- |
