When the announcement came that Jesus was the Messiah, the Jewish religious leaders became indignant and consequently rejected him. As far as they were concerned, Elijah had not physically returned. None of the Messianic prophesies had been fulfilled. But they were dead wrong! Jesus truly, was the Messiah. Today, Christians are also expecting Jesus to physically descend from the sky on His Second Coming. Aren’t they repeating the same mistakes of the past? At exactly 9.45 PM on the 9th of April, 1997, DARA NDU announced to the world through the Anambra Broadcasting Service (TV), Nigeria, that He is the prophesied and long-awaited Savior, The Christ. That He took human form in the great Igboland of Nigeria. Has Jesus Christ already returned in an unexpected way? Has God appeared to humanity again, with a new name? This book is an autobiography of DARA NDU, the Long-Awaited Christ, and the Messiah.

One of the greatest challenges Jesus faced in the course of his ministry on earth was the unfortunate misinterpretations of the Law of Moses by Jewish religious leaders. The Synoptic Gospels contain a litany of altercations between Jesus and the Jews in this direction. In fact, these incidences eventually carried a high price: they cost John the Baptist his head and got Jesus nailed to the cross. Sadly, Christians today are repeating the same mistakes. Bible scholars all over the world have differed in the understanding of very critical scriptural teachings. Consequently, the scripture suffers carnal, physical, and literal interpretations in the hands of these religious merchants. The outcome has been confusion, delusion, needless controversy, and ignorance of the concept of the Body of Christ. In this book, Dara Ndu aims at correctly interpreting what he spoke in the books of the law, the Synoptic Gospels, and the revelations to Apostle John the Beloved.

The Pentecostal movement has been subject to some negative external assumptions. In this enlightening and challenging book, Cheryl Bridges Johns argues that, in fact, Pentecostals employ a powerful process of formation of catechesis, which has enabled millions of believers to own and articulate the Christian story. She engages dialectically with the work of Paulo Freire, a specialist in education among the marginalized. As well as looking more broadly at the nature of all catechesis, there is also an attempt to move beyond the rationalism found in a praxis epistemology.
