| Description | In this chapter the author discusses Mugambi's theology of reconstruction as “tools in anticipation of the new society that results from successful struggles for liberation” which according to Mugambi goes hand in hand with social construction. The author then argues that the theology of reconstruction offers tools for critical thinking on a new “post-liberation” Church expression. Such a theology is also practical as it helps clarify the relationship between gospel and culture particularly in the African context.This chapter discusses Jesse N. K. Mugambi's theology of reconstruction as "tools in anticipation of the new society that results from successful struggles for liberation" which according to Mugambi goes hand in hand with social construction. It argues that the theology of reconstruction offers tools for critical thinking on a new "post-liberation" Church expression. Such a theology is also practical as it helps clarify the relationship between gospel and culture particularly in the African context. Reconstruction provides useful tools toward an understanding of revitalization movements in Africa. Revitalization in Africa is a part of the ongoing global renewal of Christianity. Mugambi suggests that the need in Africa is for a religious commitment that leads to social reconstruction, moving beyond passive piety. Mugambi suggests that a new way of thinking and a new way of evaluating the society must be developed, including the move away from an old paradigm of liberation to the new paradigm of rebuilding.
