| dc.description.abstract | While the Bible was produced in part in Mediterranean North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa has had a very different engagement with the Bible. This article analyses the reception of the Bible in Sub-Saharan Africa, recognising its complicity in colonialism, then going on to reflect in detail on African agency in the appropriation of the Bible. The perspective of this article is both historical and hermeneutical, following a broadly chronological framework, but pausing regularly to analyse the hermeneutical contributions of particular historical moments. | en |
