The Africa Study Bible is a timely response to thousands of Christians in Africa who, like the Ethiopian official, are reading the Scripture without understanding its message (Acts 8:31). The Africa Study Bible has been variously welcomed as a precious resource, divinely providential. The church has come of age. This work is original, rich, profound, culturally sensitive, inspiring, and meets a long-felt need. The French version, La Bible d'étude: perspectives africaines, is about to be launched. Just as I was involved in casting the vision [in English], I am more committed today to promote La BEPA’s launching across African French speaking countries as well as in francophone diaspora beyond Africa. —Prof Dr Abel Ndjerareou, “Africa Study Bible” contributor and Professor at Shalom Evangelical School of Theology in Chad.

French-speaking Africa is known for its material poverty. One element of this poverty is the lack of Christian literature resources in the French language. The need for French-language Bible study materials is, and remains to be, an even more profound source of poverty for the region. With so few study Bibles in Francophone Africa, translating [the Africa Study Bible] is not merely a priority, it is a necessity, an emergency. It will be like providing food (God’s Word) for a starving population. —Dr Daniel Bourdanné, Former General Secretary, International Fellowship of Evangelical Students
