Peer reviewedThis article tells the story of Musa Dube’s interpretation of
the Bible. It is not a biography of Dube’s personal life but
rather a story of how she has contributed to the direction of
African biblical scholarship; it is a story of how biblical
scholars can participate in the life of Christian communities.
The article begins with a brief biography of Dube. This
section is followed by a panorama of the history of African
biblical scholarship. The methods Dube uses to interpret
the Bible are then reviewed. The article concludes by
showing that although Dube has built on a foundation that
was laid by earlier African biblical scholars, her contribution
has been revolutionary.Research Institute for Theology and Religio
