Collaborating in Today's Multicultural Global Context A specialist of cross-textual hermeneutics, especially Chinese text and the post-exilic biblical tradition.
This pioneering commentary sets biblical interpretation firmly in the context of African American experience and concern. Cutting-edge scholarship that is in tune with African American churches calls into question many of the canons of traditional biblical research and highlights the role of the Bible in African American history, accenting themes of ethnicity, class, slavery, and African heritage as these play a role in Christian scripture and the Christian odyssey of an emancipated people.
Contributors include the volume editors, Thomas Hoyt, Monya A. Stubbs, Vincent Wimbush, and sixteen other notable scholars. A landmark volume, The Africana Bible gathers multicultural and interdisciplinary perspectives on every book in the Hebrew Bible.
It opens a critical window onto the world of interpretation on the African continent and in the multiple diasporas of African peoples, including the African-American experience, with attention to Africana histories, literatures, cultures, and backgrounds for understanding biblical literature. The Africana Bible features a critical commentary on every book of the Hebrew Bible, the Apocrypha, and Pseudepigrapha that are authoritative for many in African and African-diasporan communities worldwide.
It highlights issues of concern to the global Black community such as globalization and the colonial legacy and the distinctive norms of interpretation in African and African Diasporan settings.

These are matters that this book calls attention to, as they are raised by the biblical text itself. I am grateful to others who have also given their time and energy in providing their insights on the same epistles. May the Lord use all the efforts to build a strong church for our time and many years to come! Katho's experience growing up in a war-torn land gives him a unique perspective on how Jeremiah's words relate to our world in turmoil today.
A one-volume commentary, written and edited by South Asian Biblical scholars on all the books of the Bible.

A Guide to Biblical Commentaries and Reference Works is essentially an annotated bibliography of hundreds of commentators. The author keeps up on the publication of commentaries and intends to update this book every three to four years. Named one of the top religion books of by USA Today, Philip Jenkins's phenomenally successful The Next Christendom permanently changed the way people think about the future of Christianity.
In that volume, Jenkins called the world's attention to the little noticed fact that Christianity's center of gravity was moving inexorably southward, to the point that Africa may soon be home to the world's largest Christian populations.
Now, in this brilliant sequel, Jenkins takes a much closer look at Christianity in the global South, revealing what it is like, and what it means for the future. The faith of the South, Jenkins finds, is first and foremost a biblical faith.
