In the enterprise, several methodologies and African resources have been employed and deployed to develop an ABH that is adequately African. While acknowledging the contributions of other scholars to ABH, e.g. E. Mburu’s African Hermeneutics using the imagery of a four-legged stool, this paper, however, approaches ABH significantly differently. Using a “new” imagery of a threestone cooking stove to describe the form and function as well as the tasks involved in ABH, the present study proposes an alternative methodology that involves three broad tasks and eight specific tasks of ABH. In this analogy, stone 1 is the analytical tasks of ABH; stone 2 is the performative tasks; and stone 3 is the transformative tasks. In this way, this paper contributes, methodologically, in the conversation towards finding an ABH that is truly African and truly biblical.engAfricaHermeneuticsBibleContextTransformation230bookpart
