    About this ebook

    What is the key to understanding in a truly Malawian way? After a lifetime's theological reflection the author finds the answer in the concept of uMunthu (personhood or human-ness). Drawing on Malawi's cultures and languages, the biblical text and the evangelical faith, he casts a theological vision that can be transformative for church and nation.
