The International Bible Society (Biblica) has launched the new contemporary Akuapem Twi Bible called “Nkwa AsƐm”.
The purpose of the translation project was to give Akuapem speakers an alternate Bible easy to read, easy to understand, accurate and in contemporary Akuapem Twi.
The philosophy of the translation project was based on the philosophy of the English Living Bible (ELB), published by the Living Bible International (LBI).
