Summary
Professor David Tuesday Adamo published his first article in Old Testament Essays (OTE) in 2003. Prof Adamo’s links with South Africa, are not limited to publishing in OTE, as he is a member of the Old Testament Society of South Africa and he has been one of the loyal African scholars who attend the annual conferences and present papers. He has established links with several South African universities. I reflect on his distinctive application of African biblical hermeneutics and lastly, I present a proposal for an Old Testament Society of Africa or a Society of Biblical Studies in Africa
