Shadow of the World Roger Ongeni Mahuwe

Shadow of the World beginsunsurprisinglyat the beginning, turning to the Bibles foundational story in Genesis and exploring Gods creation of light out of the dark nothingness. That biblical story provides the fundamental insight that this worlds life contains the bright lightsall the God made and pronounced goodand the dusty shadowsthe reminders that Gods creatures persistently rebel against him.



Roger Ongeni Mahuwe, gleans the lessons one can learn from carefully observing daily life and the truths that flow from the scriptures. Shadow of the World combines these twin sources, forming a reflection on the nature of the world, human life, the presence of good and evil, and Gods continuing care for his whole creation.



This reflection chooses humanitys long-gaping wound of race relations, including slavery and segregation, as the focus of its spotlight that washes out the worlds shadows. Shadow of the World takes the worlds brokenness seriously, but it trusts all the more in Gods light to shine with undimmed power.
