Under the Shade Tree

Reading the Bible in Africa

Beschreibung

Under the Shade Tree investigates how the Bible was and is read in Africa and by Africans. It proposes a synthesis that resists the way the Bible is used in Africa to support forms of deception and fraud. It argues for critical study of the Bible, not only for biblical scholarship, but also for ordinary people's reading of the Bible.
