"The Letters to the Thessalonians," 335–354. In An African Introduction to the New Testament
Abstract
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.
