Reviews"Here is a fresh study of significant value written by African Scholars from an African perspective. It is hoped that not only Africans but also people from other cultures will find this study most beneficial for personal devotion and spiritual development." - Apostle Dr. Opoku Onyinah, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost "The Africa Study Bible is unique because it contains study notes written by Africans for Africans. For the first time, the African church will have a Bible with application notes that address the real-life issues that Africans deal with every day. Combine those features with an easy-to-understand Bible translation that speaks directly to the heart . . . and you have the potential to transform the lives of multitudes of leaders, lay people, and seekers. I'm delighted that the Africa Study Bible is now [will soon be] available to my African brothers and sisters." -Mark D. Taylor, Chairman/CEO, Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. "Now, as African Christians are becoming an increasing portion of the global church, African scholars and teachers have produced a study Bible sensitive to African realities. This momentous event is not only the climax of many years of work, but undoubtedly the beginning of many more good things to come." -Dr. Craig Keener, Professor of New Testament, Asbury Theological Seminary
