Endangered Moral Values

In this superb book, Dr. Sunday Agang offers a critical scholarly analysis of the current reality facing Nigeria and its citizens, which he then addresses against the backdrop of a set of theological and biblical moral principles. This book is of vital importance for Nigerians, and Africans across the continent, who are labouring for the “Africa God wants.”

In this book you can hear a modern-day Jeremiah pleading with his people, with Nigeria. When the church, the economy and politics are excelling in corruption and tribal nepotism, modern variations of exile are inevitable. Nigeria has the responsibility and potential to set an example and to help their continent to avoid a human and ecological disaster. To do so the church has to rediscover what it means to follow Christ and seek his kingdom.

This book is a must-read for Nigerians who hold positions of authority, especially politicians, civil servants and religious leaders. As a theologian and ethicist, it was gratifying to read this pace-setting book by a qualified, visionary and passionate colleague.
