SACRED LANGUAGE, SACRED WORLD Search the physical and online collections at UW-Madison, UW System libraries, and the Wisconsin Historical Society. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Joachim Kügler has definitely gone an extra mile. His dedication to Biblical Studies in Africa is outstanding, extending far beyond Germany. His interests across the various areas of religious studies transcend the traditional boundaries of New Testament scholarship. His commitment to alternative visions of society is obvious in the books and articles he has published over the last decades. This volume, therefore, reflects on the importance of Biblical Studies in Africa and the contributions Joachim Kügler has made to them in bridging German and African biblical scholarship, predominately through interaction with scholars from Zimbabwe. The articles by various contributors are arranged in four sections. Section 4 Biblical Studies for Social Transformation engages with disability studies, discrimination faced by the LGBTQ+ community and global challenges such as climate change, pandemics, human rights and their interconnectedness. In more than one case, one and the same article could have been placed in more than one section as there is no African biblical scholarship that does not reflect on its contexts and that does not have a vision of social transformation. Thus, each article in its own way goes the extra mile. We thank Joachim for his commitment and wish him all the best for his future! Special thanks are due to Deborah Diethelm, Julia Gareis, Andreas Saffer, Margrit Seuling and Irene Loch, for their assistance in finalizing this Festschrift for Joachim Kügler and to Barbara Ziegler from University of Bamberg Press. Bamberg/Geneva/Harare, July 2024 Introduction Having enrolled for a diploma in religious studies at the University of Zimbabwe in 1997, I was quickly attracted to the study of A NERVOUS STATE
