This book, created under the editorship of Dr Abel A. Alamu, focuses on interpreting the Scripture in Africa. Notable African theologians, including Origen, Tertullian, Augustine and others, contributed to the formative years of Christianity. Their contribution attests that Africans have been creators/contributors of biblical hermeneutics that benefit the Christian community globally. The story has changed since the Islamic conquest of North Africa. In the intervening period, what is today known as Western theology developed, which many now consider unsuitable for Africa. The campaign for including African experience and realities in Biblical hermeneutics dates back to the charismatic revival of the 1930s, receiving the backing of modern African theologians in the 1960s. Efforts to provide alternatives have seen the emergence of approaches including Decolonisation, Inculturation, African women hermeneutics, Liberation, Postcolonial hermeneutics, etc., for interpreting the Bible in Africa.
