The first edition of Africa Bible Commentary was a ground-breaking publishing event--the first one-volume Bible commentary produced in Africa by African theologians to meet the needs of African pastors, students, and lay leaders. Interpreting and applying the Bible in the light of African cultures and realities today.

Now, this revised and updated second edition, almost twenty years after the release of the first, continues to bring powerful and relevant insights into the biblical text. Bringing together over 100 gifted scholars from across the continent, and interacting with recent scholarship and issues that face African Christians today, this new edition raises the benchmark set by its predecessor all those years ago.

Deepening the contextual relevance of the commentary, this second edition boasts seventy-five new articles, resulting in 122 articles that provide insight into the most pertinent issues facing the church in Africa today.
