Hardback. Condition: New. The book offers an incisive examination of the governing philosophy of the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF), referred to as Zanupfism, characterizing it as marked by callousness and malevolence towards dissenting voices from civil society and opposition factions. This pernicious application of power extends beyond mere verbal aggression to encompass militaristic actions, engendering a profound generational crisis within Zimbabwe. The contributors explore the compelling juxtaposition between President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the biblical Nebuchadnezzar II, a ruler notorious for his autocratic reign and expansive ambitions. Further, critically scrutinizing the complicity of neo-Pentecostal prophets in the book reveals how these religious figures promote an esoteric understanding of the divine, diverging from a theology rooted in justice, thereby enabling the oppressive regime's practices. This critique underscores the imperative for prophets to recalibrate their theological perspectives, urging them to move beyond magical interpretations of faith toward an authentic engagement with a personal God who champions justice. The book further encompasses the complex interplay of political and religious narratives, examining how church leaders either bolster or undermine Mnangagwa's political ideology, highlighting the tendency among certain religious factions to deify political authority, ultimately exacerbating societal inequities. In advocating for a transformative theological discourse in Zimbabwe, the book asserts that religious narratives must serve as instruments for fostering democracy, social justice, and equity, rather than sustaining a status quo that entrenches authoritarian governance. The necessity for unified, principled resistance, grounded in the collective agency of the populace, emerges as a salient theme in the quest for meaningful political and social reform.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This collection focuses on the role of religious leaders and religious institutions in supporting or resisting the democratization process in Zimbabwe. It scrutinizes the actions of religious leaders such Andrew Wutawunashe and Jeremiah Mutendi who were prominent in the political scene and participated as enablers of the undemocratic regime. The contributors to this volume employ a variety of methodological approaches to understand the operational dilemma of the second republic under Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, commonly referred to as Zanupfism.It is an empirical study to determine the impact of religious leaders as regime enablers and assess the effects of such an approach in terms of social development, democracy, and social transformation as espoused in the rise of the second republic. In order to balance the narrative, the book highlights and offers critique of religious leaders and institutes who are the resistors of the regime. It specifically explores the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops Conference, Evangelical Fellowship of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe Council of Churches, Talent Chiwenga and Shingi Munyeza. This is a critical study of decoloniality in a religious context that documents characters such as Shingi Mayeza, Bishop Mutendi, Mapostori who seldomly appear in scholarship despite their great impact (either positive or negative) on the lives of the people of Zimbabwe.…
