Abstract:Eurocentric hermeneutics have not considered African roles in the divine scheme of salvation as important. The roles played by Africa in the New Testament have not been properly identified. Yet one might hypothesize that the Bible would not have existed without Africa. The present authors demonstrate the role of Africa and Africans in the scheme of salvation history, using the critical method of Bible interpretation and arguing that Africa was a facilitator of God's plan in the New Testament.
