Two Forthcoming Books of Mine in 2023 & 2024!

Attached you will find the covers for the two forthcoming books you should anticipate from me in 2024. I came up with the concept/idea for both texts, invited a group of talented scholars and thinkers to contribute and collaborate with me (for which I am extremely grateful), and am currently serving as the general editor for both texts. In other words, these are my babies 😊

1. “Vodou and Christianity in Interreligious Dialogue” (@Wipf and Stock Publishers)

*This book is in its final stage of production. I just approved the final manuscript and sent it back to the typewriter and copywriter. The publisher will be working on indexing the book. Therefore, there’s a possibility this book might come out very soon: at the end of the year 2023. I am thankful to the renowned and brilliant French religious scholar Philippe Martin for writing the book’s foreword for us.

2. “Evangelicals, Catholics, and Vodouyizan in Haiti: The Challenge to Live Together” (@Bloomsbury Publishing)

*This book is currently undergoing the copyediting process. I will receive the proofs in four to five weeks from now. The publication date is May 2024.

*If the good Lord keeps me healthy, mentally stable, and intellectually steady, in the next five to ten years, I would like to write my final book on Haitian Vodou. It will be a different book than anything else I have written about Vodou. It will be a full theology of Haitian Vodou from a comparative religious and theological perspective. I would like to use a similar methodological approach as John Hick in his brilliant comparative theological approach to world religion in his book entitled “A Christian Theology of Religions: The Rainbow of Faiths” (1996). Tentatively, I am thinking about two titles: “Theologizing in Haitian Vodou: A Conceptual and Comparative Assessment” or simply “A Christian Theology of Vodou.”
