The arrival of the Africa Study Bible will certainly reduce considerably the long hours and the
amount of money spent by pastors and teachers of the Bible, especially at the grassroots level, to
find the right kind of materials for more effective teaching and a better application of the Bible. I
am confident that this study Bible will be an invaluable daily companion to every pastor, teacher,
and seminarian in Africa.
Rev. Daniel Okoh, General Superintendent, Christ Holy Church International
and International Chairman, the Organization of African Instituted Churches
What you would expect when pastors and Christian scholars from across Africa who affirm the Bible
as the inspired Word of God compile a study Bible for their own people is precisely what you have
here. This is a project whose time has come, and it has been well executed. Africa will be richer for
it. What a timeless gift this will be!
Dr. Conrad Mbewe, Chancellor, African Christian University
The Africa Study Bible is original, rich, profound, and inspiring. Thanks to its notes, African Touch
Points, and illuminating insights drawn from African context and experience, it will encourage
Africans in particular, as well as others, to read the Word with a new freshness, to better understand
and to put the Scriptures into practice. This Bible fills an enormous void. It is superb and unique.
Pick it up and read it!
Dr. Daniel Bourdanné, General Secretary, International Fellowship of Evangelical Students
The Africa Study Bible is a precious resource that reflects the reality of the shift in Christianity’s center
of gravity to the southern hemisphere and to Africa in particular. It enables and equips Christians
in Africa to study the Bible for themselves by using their heartfelt thought and language categories.
The uniqueness of its African perspective, its accomplished authors, and the wealth of the topics
covered, make the Africa Study Bible the new and reliable companion of all who wish to explore
the Bible through African eyes.
Dr. Michel Kenmogne, Executive Director, SIL International
The Africa Study Bible has come at a time when frustration with the pulpit is driving many Christians
in Africa back to discarded roots. This Africa Study Bible is a ready-made prescription that is going
to drive any willing African back to God because the instructions are now easily unpacked.
Dr. G. O. Olutola, JP, President, The Apostolic Church Nigeria
and President, Christian Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria
The rich and culturally sensitive Africa Study Bible will benefit every pastor, Bible teacher, and
individual believer. The African perspective will be invaluable to those living on the African con
tinent and to Africans living elsewhere in the world. The amaZioni of southern Africa are excited
and encouraged by the release of the ASB that will enable them to better understand and apply
the truths of the Word of God.
Rev. Robert K Tunywashe, President, Zion Evangelical Fellowship of Africa
The Africa Study Bible fills a long-felt need among Protestants in French-speaking Africa, a need
that has remained unfulfilled up until now. While keeping African cultural elements in mind and
without betraying the Holy Scriptures, the Africa Study Bible allows the African reader to see God
without being encumbered with foreign ideas. John, in the book of Revelation of our Lord God,
promises blessing for all who obey what is written in the Book. I encourage all pastors and Christian
laymen to use the Africa Study Bible to understand and incorporate God’s Word into their lives.
Dr. José Matumueni Kiendi, Protestant Theological Seminary of Brazzaville
Here is Africa boldly raising her own voice in the rich arena of Christian theological voices.
Dr. Peter Yuh Kimeng, Academic Dean, Cameroon Baptist Theological Seminary
