In October the Slavic Bible Commentary (SBC) was launched in Kiev, Ukraine.
The book, whose first edition has already sold out, is the first ever Russian-language commentary, written by contemporary evangelical writers from Eastern Europe.
The commentary, which took five years to complete, is intended for use by all Christians. It contains 100 articles addressing ethical and moral issues, worship practices and other aspects of Christian discipleship.
At the launch, Pieter Kwant, Langham Literature Director, explained that his vision for contextual commentaries came from hearing from African preachers and scholars. ‘Our world view filters how we hear the Scriptures. And our context shapes our view of the world and how we apply the Scriptures’, he said.
