CONTEMPORARY NEW TESTAMENT SCHOLARSHIP OUTLINING ITS RELEVANCE FOR AFRICAN CHRISTIANITY

Abstract

New testament scholarship as expressed in the African context is propelled by the subtle relevance of the New Testament experience within the African situation and this is important because the New Testament is born out of a cultural ambience which tends to grow and widen in the different stages of interaction with the New Testament. New Testament scholarship has to do then with the domestication of the New Testament, taking into consideration the auspices of past and present interpretation in order to forestall a paradigm of interpretation.
