The Ujamaa Centre offers two kinds of resources to those who would like to collaborate and journey with us. We have a range of accessible, practical guides to Contextual Bible Study. These include: 1. Contextual Bible study. Pietermaritzburg: Cluster Publications. This book is also available in Zulu.
Note: Users with a dialup/slow Internet connection may find it difficult to download the above three files (which together are over ten megabytes in size). Here is a single PDF/Acrobat file containing the whole Contextual Bible Study manual (1.4 megabytes).
The Ujamaa Centre has collaborated with the Church Land Programme and a number of Community Based Organisations to produce a series of Bible studies (in English and Zulu) on land issues. You can download them from this website.
