Koforidua: The All Nations University (ANU) has launched a book entitled ‘Handbook of Christian Faith in Public Square’ comprising a wide range of topics from different fields of study such as Science, Theology, and Ethics, among others. Speaking at the launching ceremony, Professor Samuel H. Donkor, President of the University, stated that the Handbook is firmly based on Christian faith but engages with other religions to encourage and strengthen the faith of many.
According to Ghana News Agency, the book adopts a multidisciplinary approach touching on several areas such as mental health, politics, justice, and governance. Edited by Professor Nicholas J. Wood from Oxford University and Bishop Dhirendra Kumar Sahu, Dean of the School of Theology at ANU, the content highlights Public Theology in the Public University, Theology at supermarket, Incarnation and engagement, Bridging Pentecostalism in academia, Mental health services in Universities, Globalization, and Microeconomics, among others.
Professor Donkor noted, “This is the first time a University in Ghana is launching a Handbook on Christian faith in the public square. This is a Christian country, and we need to know how to dialogue and speak about the Christian Faith in Public Square because it is one of the important areas of discipline that has to be explored.” He emphasized that the collective vision and dedicated work behind the handbook culminated in its presentation at an international conference hosted by All Nations University in November 2024. At this event, Professors, Researchers, Experts, Lecturers, and Students explored its key themes and findings.
The presentations delivered during the international conference have been consolidated to form the foundational content of the handbook launched today. Professor Donkor endorsed the Handbook as a valuable resource for individuals from all social classes, particularly researchers and those seeking to make meaningful contributions to the advancement of humanity.
Since its founding in 2002, All Nations University has evolved into a fully accredited Private Christian University, receiving its Charter in 2020.
