Welcome
Here, I write and share more about my life and path into academia, Christianity (Church) and its impact on society, campus and youth ministry, the use of the Bible in Africa, and African socio-economic and political challenges. I focus my work on the theme of economy and economics in the Hebrew Bible, specifically its connections with ancient transnational commerce, taxation, resource distribution, wealth, and poverty, and power dynamic in the Bible world and ours.
