SUNDAY SUSPENSION

An audit of the African spiritual portfolio.

For twelve years, one question sat unreconciled: why does the African professional demand empirical proof for everything , except the dogma inherited on Sunday.

This is the audit that was overdue.

John Kuria Kariũki

John Kuria Kariũki is a seasoned entrepreneur, corporate executive, and business strategist. Over more than 40 years at senior management and director level, spanning IT, manufacturing, healthcare, insurance, banking, and fintech, his career has been built on applying rigorous due diligence, financial structuring, and executive governance to complex commercial landscapes.

Sunday Suspension is the result of a profound intellectual interest that has run alongside that career for over a decade — an extensive personal investigation into the history of Christianity, biblical studies, and the geopolitical origins of dogma. In it, he turns that same formidable analytical acumen toward the theological contracts inherited by the African continent.

The result is a brilliant synthesis of his professional executive expertise, his quantitative demand for empirical truth, and his relentless pursuit of historical clarity — the point where instincts sharpened in the boardroom meet a question he's been quietly observing since childhood.
