Savvy ecclesial observers recognize that in the great moral debates of the age African Catholics remain committed to the Gospel. Readers will welcome this volume in order to understand better the Church in Africa. So much of the future of the Church universal will be marked by African contributions to theology and mission. These essays are essential reading for those interested in learning about that future.

-- Rev. Ryan Connors, St. John's Seminary, Boston MA

No small part of the global Catholic future depends on the dynamic orthodoxy, evangelical zeal, and impact on society of the Church in Africa. This important volume explains why, amidst darkening confusions throughout the world Church and immense social and political challenges at home, African Catholic theology in the spirit of Benedict XVI is a bright, guiding star.
-- George Weigel, Distinguished Senior Fellow and William E. Simon Chair in Catholic Studies Ethics and Public Policy Center

What St. Augustine was to North Africa in the ancient Church, his latter-day disciple, Benedict XVI, may well be for Africa in the 21st century. The pastors and scholars of this volume deftly apply Ratzingerian principles to the challenges of politics, economics, and culture facing the continent that is the growing edge of Catholicism. I highly recommend this volume to anyone interested in the future of African Christianity.

-- James Massa, Auxiliary Bishop of Brooklyn and Rector, St. Joseph's Seminary in New York
