Reading the Bible as a Church.


"I am because We are." These are the words of John Mbiti, in his explanation of African Christianity, Culture and life. What can we learn from just one quote?
I wanted to put my paper on our blog for you to read. I hope you enjoy, think, critique, and contemplate the ideas in paper. It is my belief that African churches are on to something so important in the idea of Congregational Interpretation that we would be foolish not incorporate it in our churches. Its so easy and the benefits are numerous. I hope you enjoy the paper. I would be eager to talk with any of you more on the issue. The picture is John Mbiti, one of the most pioneering African Biblical Scholars.


Shalom,

Gregg
