Publisher's Synopsis
This study provides detailed historical accounts of the origins of two of Africa's most revered vernacular Bibles: the Efik Bible of modern-day Nigeria and the Nyanja Bible of Southern Africa. Issuing a powerful warning for those involved in the vast ongoing task of translating Scripture into the world's vernacular languages, Nyirenda reminds us that we must first reckon with our social, cultural and historical embeddedness when seeking to communicate gospel truth across linguistic or cultural barriers.
