For too long Africa has presented a conundrum as its profound reception of the Bible is juxtaposed with a public life that often seems devoid of biblical values. In this highly original analysis Mzee Hermann Mvula boldly seeks to bridge this ugly chasm by showing what biblical teaching can mean for many different aspects of social and political life.—Kenneth R. Ross, Professor of Theology and Dean of Postgraduate Studies, Zomba Theological University
