Description

Explore the complex history of the Bible in Southern Africa with this scholarly work from the Biblical Interpretation Series. The Stolen Bible tracks the journey of the text from its arrival on Dutch imperial ships in the mid-1600s through to the post-apartheid era. This book provides a deep look at how Southern Africans have interacted with the Bible, focusing on African agency. It makes a clear distinction between African receptions of the Bible itself and the reception of missionary-colonial Christianity. Through detailed historical, geographical, and hermeneutical case studies, the text analyzes the earliest encounters with the Bible and the process of translating the text into local languages. It offers a necessary perspective on how religious texts function within colonial and post-colonial contexts.
