As many as million Christians in Africa are without a Bible. Unlike most study Bibles, which are written by westerners, the Africa Study Bible was created by Africans as a gift to their continent and to the global Church.
Pastors, teachers, and laymen alike will learn how to teach more effectively by using examples from African cultures and experiences. At the same time, it offers unique insights to the global Church. Even as distribution of the English edition of the Africa Study Bible continues to spread, the French edition is nearing completion.
Almost as many African countries have French as an official language as have English. In the very near future, the estimated ,, Christians who read in that language will have the ASB in their language. And a study group is already considering parameters for the Portuguese edition. The Africa Study Bible app unleashes the most ethnically diverse, single-volume, biblical resource developed to date on your phone or tablet.
Written by more than contributors from 50 countries, it includes the New Living Translation and more than 2, features that illuminate the truth of Scripture from African perspectives.
The Africa Study Bible combines the clear, accurate text of modern translations—beginning in English with the New Living Translation—with study tools and notes written by contributors from 50 countries. This resource reflects uniquely African insights and experiences. Like other study Bibles, the Africa Study Bible uses a widely respected translation that already exists. For our English edition, that is the New Living Translation. Our contributors did not change the Bible text at all.
They wrote the notes surrounding the Bible text and at the bottom of each page, as well as the book introductions and articles. The first edition of the Africa Study Bible is in English, the most widely spoken language in Africa.
Our second edition will be in French, with more languages to follow! Both resources look at the Bible from African perspectives, and some of the same people contributed to both projects. However, they each address a different need and so they complement each other well. The Africa Bible Commentary is a one-volume scholarly resource written by 70 African scholars. The Africa Study Bible includes the Bible text itself, and was written by pastors, teachers, and scholars.
The Africa Study Bible notes focus on how to apply the Bible to our lives. The Africa Study Bible is designed to be very readable. The Africa Study Bible is a Bible with devotional notes at the bottom of the page and many other helpful features. It is not a workbook or curriculum for small groups, but it can be used in small groups.
The Africa Study Bible can also be used for individual quiet time or as a resource for preaching and teaching. Our over contributors were recommended by denominations, Christian ministries, or theological institutions. These were pastors, scholars, and leaders of Christian ministries. They represented 50 countries.
The vast majority of contributors were African by nationality and living on the continent. The Africa Study Bible is a collaboration across many different Christian denominations, organisations, and ministries.
Oasis International is an independent Christian publisher for Africa. We want this resource to help as many people as possible, so our notes affirm the common ground that the vast majority of Christians agree on and acknowledge different opinions when there are debates within the church. It is available digitally on your mobile device via Google Play store and Apple Store. Find it by searching "Africa Study Bible. Many of the analogies and stories in western study Bibles have little to no relevance to cultures in Africa.
Our Supervising Editor Dr. John Jusu shares its importance through the following story:. John Jusu, a young man at the time, was listening to him with curiosity. John had no idea what a vending machine was, and he was certain that neither did any of the gathered people.
John looked around again. This was a village that could only be reached only by footpaths. John began to wonder if this preacher even knew the meaning of the comparisons that he was making. That is why the Africa Study Bible is so necessary.
