\"Hippo.jpg\"<\/span>Many today admit the need to have multiple voices at the table when important subjects are discussed, and one such “table” is Bible study: and the “voices” are commentaries. <\/p>\n

Which is what we are now promised with the new African Bible Commentary Series from Hippo Books. The publisher is a cooperative of folks from Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana and Zondervan.

The series is designed for preachers and for preaching.<\/b> The commentary emerges from experience; it is wise; it is conservative theologically and shaped for traditional theology in Africa; and it will prove itself to be valuable for cross-cultural contexts.

I will use this commentary whenever I work in the Pastorals.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
