Biblical Interpretation in African Perspective examines the history of biblical interpretation in Africa- specifically with interpretation of the passages using African cultural hermeneutics. This work maintains that all these various interpretations of the Bible have their origin in Africa.

Industry Reviews

This collection of essays provides an important apologetic for African biblical scholarship, and will appeal especially to those who are convinced of the importance of African biblical scholarship and its need to be taken seriously. * Mission Studies *
