| Summary: | Mercy Oduyoye's latest book gathers a wealth of insights under three headings -- "Africa and Redemption"; "Global Issues in African Perspective"; and "Women, Tradition, and the Gospel in Africa". Although some essays have been published in earlier works, everything in this volume has been carefully revised and, in some cases, abridged. Oduyoye takes great pains to bring Akan and other African traditions into correlation with Biblical stories and show the reader how African wisdom offers deep insights into timeless episodes and themes. Above all, Beads and Strands gives us access to how one of Africa's most noted women sees the state and roles of women in Africa today "Although some essays have been published in earlier works, everything in this volume has been carefully revised and, in some cases, abridged.
