An African Introduction to the New Testament, written by a wide array of scholars from across Africa, is the first of its kind to engage every book in the New Testament from the African context. Each of the chapters offers a thematic engagement of the book in light of sociocultural and religious heritage. This introductory book provides readers with a glimpse of how African Christians read the New Testament text in their contexts by fleshing out themes that connect with African cultures. This volume is a valuable resource for anyone interested in African voices in biblical interpretation, as it provides an introductory platform for delving deeper into every book of the New Testament.

Industry Reviews

An African Introduction to the New Testament is an important and timely introduction to the New Testament from a uniquely African perspective. Written by eminent African New Testament scholars it examines the authorship, historical context, literary features, and theological themes of the various New Testament writings in view of the pressing challenges facing African communities today. Corruption, tribalism, traditional beliefs, and spiritual warfare are some of the challenges discussed. For anyone seeking to understand how the New Testament can be authentically embraced within diverse African contexts, this resource provides invaluable insights that honour both textual integrity and cultural relevance. --Marius J. Nel, Professor in New Testament, Stellenbosch University
