dc.description.abstractIn the context of how the Bible continues to be interpreted in the world today, the rise and development of a specialized biblical methodology known. as 'Inculturation Hermeneutics' used within the context of Africa has received a global recognition. For this feat, it is fair to give credits to its foremost proponents in the likes of Professor Justin S. Ukpong, Professor Emmanuel Nlenanya Chinwokwu, Professor Vincent Nyoyoko, Professor Sunday 0. Abogunrin, Professor Chris Manus, Professor David Adamo, Professor Gerald West, and several others. However, despite its global acknowledgements, it is difficult to say if 'Inculturation Hermeneutics' is well understood in all ramifications by a majority of biblical scholars in Africa. In this article, therefore, we attempt to restate the essentials of this hermeneutics, especially, as understood by Justin Ukpong and E. N. Chinwokwu in dialectical reference. Professor Justin Ukpong used all his professional life to write on models and methods appropriate for African Hermeneutics, while Chinwokwu also dedicated his thirty year teaching career to model his contextualization of the Bible in Africa. Through content analysis, we demonstrate in this study how succeeding biblical scholars could take a cue from them and deepen this methodology for the benefit ofemerging African Biblical Studies.
