Biblical Texts and African Contexts

In this volume, biblical scholars from seven countries in Africa, Scandinavia, and the United States of America focus on epistemologies and comparative approaches in African biblical hermeneutics for engaging such themes as the vulnerable, leadership, and sacraments and purity in African contexts. Africa is home to one-third of the world's Christians, so engaging how African communities see the Bible differently can build bridges of understanding critical for flourishing in today's multicultural world.
