Beads and Strands

Mercy Oduyoyes latest book gathers a wealth of insights under three headings--""Africa and Redemption""; ""Global Issues in African Perspective""; and ""Women, Tradition, and the Gospel in Africa."" She brings Akan and other African traditions into correlation with biblical stories to show the reader how African wisdom from a womans perspective offers deep insights into biblical episodes and themes.

Mercy Amba Oduyoye is a leader in the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians in Ghana and has long been active in the World Council of Churches and the Ecumenical Association of Third World Theologians.
