The Church in Sub-Saharan Africa is the fastest growing church in the world. Its reach in terms of evangelism does not match its reach in terms of discipleship. Sex and romance are some of the hottest issues in Africa due to the fact that Africa is one of the youngest continents. There is a vacuum of information on this topic while at the same time, there is a deluge of sexual values and practices arriving on the continent daily. The Western World's impatience with Africa is seen in the amount of friction their insistence on sexual human rights is generating on the African continent. This book is a general description of how sex is perceived to work among Sub-Saharan African Christians who subscribe to the value system known as Ubuntu. Christian common sense integrates the highest ethical values from Africa's past with the best of present day Biblical scholarship to highlight a way of doing sex that is honoring to those involved and a positive contribution to their communities.
"Ubuntu Sex For Believers" (previously entitled, "Common Sense Sex For African Christians") assumes Ubuntu is pre-Christian and ethically inferior to Biblical revelation. This writer acknowledges the theological deficiencies of Ubuntu as a pre-Christian values-system, but contends that, rightly applied, it is still a powerful ethical platform for cultures that share the same community and extended family values Africans enjoy. Treating one's community and family with respect and humaneness is Ubuntu. Valuing the human dignity of a sexual partner is as much Ubuntu as it is Christianity. Dr. Mumbi listed this book as an adult book because it is intended to be read by married people or ready for marriage young adult believers.
