Endangered Moral Values: Nigeria’s Search for Love, Truth, Justice and Intimacy
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The erosion of moral values on a global scale has left nations vulnerable to greed, power, and violence as the shaping forces of culture. In the absence of an ethical foundation, corruption reverberates through public life, destabilizing countries and undermining human flourishing.
Examining the many challenges facing Nigeria in the twenty-first century, Dr. Sunday Bobai Agang suggests that his homeland is experiencing just such a crisis – one rooted not in religion, economics, or politics but rather an eroding moral foundation. For a nation to thrive, he argues, its people must possess a moral and ethical vision characterized by sincerity and truth, love and unity. Far from representing impractical ideals, these are the virtues upon which a nation’s security and stability depend. Endangered Moral Values offers both a powerful warning of the dangers inherent in ignoring a society’s ethical and moral decay and a passionate invitation for citizens to work together towards a transformed future.

In this book you can hear a modern-day Jeremiah pleading with his people, with Nigeria. When the church, the economy and politics are excelling in corruption and tribal nepotism, modern variations of exile are inevitable. Nigeria has the responsibility and potential to set an example and to help their continent to avoid a human and ecological disaster. To do so the church has to rediscover what it means to follow Christ and seek his kingdom.
