Elizabeth Mburu’s excellent “African Hermeneutics” is based on a contextualized approach to hermeneutics that begins in Africa, moving from the known to the unknown as students learn to apply her ‘four-legged stool model’ to biblical texts, namely examining: the parallels to African contexts, the theological context, the literary context, and the historical and cultural context.

Recently enrolled students can now download the newly created Study Skills Guide. It replaces the former Student Study Guide.  

We are pleased to welcome Bill Schwartz to our Board of Directors. Bill has a wealth of church-planting experience in continental Europe, especially Belgium. In addition, he heads up a ministry network and a Bible School. We look forward to expanding our training capacities with his help.

To give our students in Africa a more contextualized study experience, we have developed the new courses “African Church History” and “African Ecclesiology” (with many resources in French).

We are pleased to announce that Rev. Bryan Rosenbarger has joined the Board of Directors. He is our new Partnership and Outreach Director. We look forward to exploring exciting new global opportunities.

Dr. Jochen Geiselhart’s dissertation is now available for free for enrolled students. They can download it from the Free Literature section.

In view of the prevalent prosperity teachings, we have decided to develop a new module. It aims to give students a balanced view of biblical truths about this subject matter.

Many congratulations to Erik Laursen, who has completed a Master of Philosophy in Intercultural Studies. As the president of New Covenant Missions, he is now cross-culturally empowered to bring more of God’s love to Africa.
