Research looks at how interpretation affects Bible reading in Africa

This also determines their approach to concerning and topical issues with which the faithful struggle.

Pasop vir besmette vleis wat op straat verkoop word
Die groot verskeidenheid bakteriële spesies wat aangetref word in voorbereide vleis wat op Johannesburg se strate verkoop word, is ’n aanduiding dat verbruikers van hierdie vleis gevaar loop om voedselvergiftiging op te doen.

Hartbreek vir hoopvol Chederick
Dit het al die kenmerke van ʼn Shakespeare-tragedie, hoewel die dramaturg se besondere beeldspraak ontbreek. Die horlosie sê dit is 11:30 en die kwik spoeg reeds vuur onder Tokio se ongenaakbare son. Of die snikhete omstandighede in die Olimpiese Stadion die atlete pla, sal net hulle weet. Die Suid-Afrikaanse 4 X 100 m-aflosspan staan reg saam…https://news.nwu.ac.za/heartbreak-hopeful-chederick
