The project focused on empirical documentation and analysis of two examples of intercultural interpretation of the Bible. The first example included two Bible study groups (adults, 50-65 years old) in Stavanger (Norway) and Fianarantsoa (Madagascar), who from 2011 to 2012 read Genesis 4 (Cain and Abel) together. The study was funded by the MHS School of Mission and Theology. The second example included three Bible study groups (youths, 16-18 years old) in Stavanger (Norway), Antananarivo (Madagascar), and Bangkok (Thailand), who from 2013 to 2014 read Luke 15:11-32 (the prodigal son) and 2 Samuel 13:1-22 (Tamar and Amnon) together. The study was funded by the Church of Norway Catechumenical Program.
