When the American Philosopher, Richard Rorty (1931 2007), published his anthology, The Linguistic Turn (1967), still propagating the fruits of the Vienna Circle, he might have thought he had made the last turn, or rather that he had uncovered historys last turn. Little could he have imagined that history would make the last turn only when it ceased turning. If Rorty were alive today, perhaps, he would also have acknowledged the current stir of history the Cultural Turn. Talking of a turn in this regard, we simply mean, not an invention as such, but a critical rediscovery, re-examination and redefinition of, as well as a subsequent reconciliation with, an event, concept or movement. The early Church grappled with the Gentile Turn. The medieval Church contended with the Philosophical Turn. The Church faced the Protestant Turn in the middle ages. Modern age posed the Scientific Turn. Vatican II adopted the Vernacular Turn. Nonetheless, we are today confronted with the reality of we may call a Cultural Turn. Presently, culture is no longer seen as antithetical, or much less as subservient, to religion/faith, judging by the scope and status of each. It is now taken as a handmaid to religion. All over, we witness a reawakening of culture and a reorientation of our core cultural values. This was not always the case, especially as one recalls the physical, political and ideological slavery which the West arbitrarily subjected the Black Skin to. At best, our culture was seen as banal, when not discarded as devilish, pagan, primitive, inhuman and balderdash. Thus, the massive turn back of many today to re-interpret, re-present and re-live our culture necessitates many questions: What do we really understand about culture? How do we douse the tension between faith and culture? If we define culture as the way of life of a people, can we also validly and truthfully proffer same definition for faith? Can an authentic African be a genuine Christian? What level of integration can we boast of as the bells of the Centenary commemorations of the Christian faith toll all over our land? Be that as it may, ours is a mission to evangelize. We, the editorial crew of THE TIMELESS MAGAZINE, are on a sensitization mission, aimed at enlightening ourselves and our people on living out our peculiar culture without compromising our Christian faith. The winds of modernity blowing everywhere further highlight the need to assert the traditional ethos and its impact on both the life of individuals and the society at large. Consequently, THE TIMELESS MAGAZINE, in her maiden edition, wishes to critically explore some aspects of our socio-cultural life, as well as other spheres of our spatio-temporal existence, and evaluate their implications for the African Christian in the modern world. Hence the theme: BACK TO THE ROOTS! To serve you well, we beckoned on different scholars of high repute to be part of this mission of enlightenment, by way of interviews, articles, poems, etc. It is therefore the honour and pleasure of the editorial crew to present to you this simple but rich package. So we say: tolle, lege! take and read! Signed: Osondu Jude Thaddeus (Editor-in-Chief)
