Description

How did two very different language communities
encounter and make early choices about Christianity? This book is a historical
record of the Dagomba and Konkomba people groups of Northern Ghana as they
embraced the Bible translated into their mother tongues. Author Dr. Sumani Sule-Saa employs Professor Lamin
Sanneh’s groundbreaking hermeneutic of ‘mission as translation’ as a grid to
examine the effect of Bible translation on the lives of these two very
important language groups.
