Abstract
The study examines the socio-economic situation in Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) and the role Christianity has played in responding to the contextual problems of the continent. It looks at emerging threats with socio-economic dimensions and the biblical foundations for engaging in societal transformation. In addition, it examines the biblical holistic approach and response to contemporary socio-economic challenges. The library research identifies the contributing factors to Sub-Sahara Africa‘s socio-economic struggles: poverty, disease, bad governance, and mismanagement of resources. The research also evaluates the ecclesiastical response to the identified challenges. Finally, the study proposes recommendations for churches.
