"Rethinking Biblical Studies in Africa is a product of the groaning in the heart of Prof. Danny McCain over the years to raise mature Christian leaders in Africa. This book defines his work and zeal on the African continent in terms of mentoring many scholars on the African continent in the areas of biblical studies and theological education. The contributors were collected from different church affiliations; Roman Catholics, Protestants and Pentecostals. The contributors have been students or friends of Prof. McCain over the years. Rethinking Biblical Studies in Africa comprises 15 chapters in honour of Prof. McCain for his selHess service in Nigeria and Africa for the past 30 years (1988 to present). It is a replication of thoughts emphasized by Prof. McCain over the years and the way forward in Biblical studies here on the African continent."--Back cover.
