Welcome to IE Christian Resources!
Whether you are looking for deep theological insights, practical guidance, or spiritual encouragement, this is a place where we explore how faith, justice, and community come together.
I’m Earle, a PhD student researching the beliefs and traditions of the Akurinu people among the Kikuyu in Kenya. The Akurinu, known as Arathi (Prophets) or Aroti (Dreamers), and called Andu a Mwathani (the Lord’s people), have stayed true to their calling despite challenges from colonialism and modern influences. They have held onto their unique identity and mission to serve as God’s people. My research, and this blog, focuses on justice and social fairness, especially at the everyday level, where these values affect people’s lives the most.
Theological anthropology, or the study of what it means to be human in relation to God, asks important questions about who we are and why we’re here. Anthropology helps us understand how different groups live and connect with each other. By combining these fields, my research explores how the Akurinu’s faith and values shape their lives and their community. They are a great example of a people who prioritize their beliefs and community, resisting pressures to focus only on individual goals.
Today, society often emphasizes individualism—putting the needs of one person over the needs of the group. But this approach can make people feel lonely or disconnected. Social justice is about making sure every person feels valued and respected in their community. This includes paying attention to everyday actions that show care and respect for others. The Akurinu provide a strong example, staying committed to God and each other, and showing the value of unity and justice in their community.
On IE Christian Resources, you’ll also find books and other resources for growing in faith and building stronger communities. These books, written by authors who are passionate about God’s word, are available for purchase. The sales will help fund this research project, and any donations or sponsorships will also support the work. Please feel free to check back often to see new posts and share in this journey with me. Thank you for your support as we learn more about the values of the Andu a Mwathani, the Lord’s people, and the power of faith and community.
