Abstract
Evangelicals have an unquestionable heritage for involvement in the world
and its social problems and the Bible provides a basis for a liberative gospel.
For the God of the Bible is not only a God of love and peace, but also of
justice and he is therefore on the side of the poor, oppressed and suffering.
He has given us a spirit of engagement with the world as salt and light and
not escapism. As we give serious consideration to the challenges of liberation
theologies, we need to hear the voice of him who calls his people in every
age to go out into the lost and lonely world (as he did), in order to live and
love, to witness and serve like him and for him and that is what African
Evangelicalism is all about.
