The very first Bible commentary authored by African theologians has been published in Kenya.
More than 70 contributors from 25 separate countries have put together the commentary, which aims to offer an insight to the Bible but with an African perspective.
Local proverbs and folklore have been provided to help readers interpret the Scripture in a more applicable light.
Also included in the commentary are contemporary issues such as HIV/Aids, female genital mutilation, refugees, ethnic conflict and witchcraft.
The commentary has been published by the evangelical publisher Zondervan, and has attempted to give a section-by-section interpretation of the Bible.
The editor of the book, Tokunboh Adeyemo, says it is not a replacement for the Bible at all, but simply tries to make the contents more clear and easy to understand for Christians in Africa.
The 70 African religious leaders were asked to remain faithful to their own cultures as well as the Bible in their commentaries. Adeyemo said, “It is a weaving of word of the Bible and the word of Africa,” according to the BBC.
