ANDREW MURRAY-DESMOND TUTU PRIZE WINNER 2024
Tributes to Albert Nolan: Reluctant Prophet
Edited by: Mike Deeb, Philippe Denis and Mark James
The winner is Tributes to Albert Nolan: Reluctant Prophet edited by Mike Deeb, Philippe Denis and Mark James and published by University of Johannesburg Press.
This impressive book with 72 articles by a number of different authors shines a light on the life, faith and writing of Albert Nolan as pastor, priest, prophet and political activist. “The contributors’ differing perspectives ultimately offer a comprehensive view of a life’s journey for our time, and a freeing message of Christ to act fairly in today’s world. It is the connection of theological insight with concrete issues of justice within the community, with a call to action which makes this book and Nolan’s life relevant in every context.This work has the potential to initiate conversation about Christians’ image of God, not only in South Africa, but worldwide, given the tendency towards “inwards” forms of nationalism.
The judges are Miranda Pillay, Nontando Hadebe and Fanie Snyman.
