Evangelisation and Modernity

Cultural Issues as Missiological Imperative in „Ecclesia in Africa“

THEOS – Studienreihe Theologische Forschungsergebnisse

This study brings to the fore that modernity offers enough (if not more than enough) materials for missiological consumption for the church in Africa.

Case Study on Morocco and Tunisia

The Integration of Renewable Energies into the Electricity Systems of North Africa

Schriftenreihe technische Forschungsergebnisse

Die Strommärkte Nordafrikas standen aus europäischer Sicht lange Zeit kaum im Fokus energiepolitischer Betrachtungen.
