Christianity is now a world religion. The African population has Christian majority. The Bible has become the reference book for many Africans and God’s authoritative word for African Christians in beliefs and practices. However, African Christians do not seem to read the Bible carefully to learn from what it says to them.
The content of this book is a reading of some Old Testament texts that addresses some of the problems facing the African continent. It is a collection of six of the articles of the author in various journals. They are brought together to enable students of the Bible and Bible believers in general have access to them in one source.
