"Introduction to the Gospels." In Africa Bible Commentary, 2nd ed.

Abstract

The Africa Bible Commentary was the first of its kind—a one-volume commentary on the whole Bible produced by African scholars to meet the needs of African pastors, students, and lay leaders. Now, in this revised and updated edition, the Africa Bible Commentary continues to shine powerful and relevant insights into the biblical text. Bringing together over one hundred scholars from across the continent, this extraordinary work raises the bar set by its predecessor.

With new and extensively revised commentaries across the Old and New Testament, in addition to over 120 articles, this second edition reflects on some of the most pertinent issues facing Christians in Africa today. There is a global need for biblical teaching that is grounded in the true and written word of God, and the authors of this work expertly blend biblical interpretation with a contextual understanding of African realities. Containing thorough exegesis and explanations of the whole Bible as seen through the eyes of African scholars, this bold and faithful commentary will equip pastors and teachers across the continent, along with Christians in every culture who have much to learn from them.
