For decades the modern anti-trafficking movement has been moving forward in the necessary and admirable goal of ending sexual exploitation. But are we on the right path? Do our practices actually bring about lasting freedom? What more ethical and effective routes can be discovered?
For those who are Christians, we must also pause to consider how the paradigms of our faith impact our understanding of the problem and the practices we develop in response. Freedom matters. Faith also matters. And how well we do one affects how well we do the other.
In this companion to Stopping the Traffick and Finding Our Way through the Traffick, experts in theology and practice pause to reflect on Christian response to sexual exploitation. We invite you to join us in Stepping Out of the Traffick to develop even better ways of working towards freedom.

How do African Pentecostals theologize about pandemics, evil, and hope? What are the religio-theological lessons that can be drawn from COVID-19 and the history of pandemics in Africa? This book draws from African theological, philosophical, historical, and practical theological perspectives to discuss the discourses and responses to pandemics in African socio-cultural contexts. Their authors, from diverse perspectives, look at the relevance of African eschatological and apocalyptic attitudes to pandemics to illustrate how sometimes, Christians seem powerless in the face of evil and suffering. In other words, theodicy, as it relates to public health issues continues to be a live issue within the African religious sphere. The collection of essays offers responses to issues of God’s omnipotence, theodicy, and hope, in difficult times. The collection proposes a Christian theological framework for ministry in the African context in times of suffering and evil.
