The Bible wants to be "African" as much as possible. It is a Bible with a study-guide for prayer, reflection and sharing according to the expressed wish of the African bishops. In the introductions, notes and comments, parallels have been drawn with African experience while using the latest insights of scholars from many disciplines in interpreting the message of the Bible.

The illustrations aim at making the historical and geographical background easier to understand, and they offer an artist insight into some texts. The Bible is also enriched with: cross-references; the 3-year cycle of liturgical readings; the chronology; the glossary/thematic index.
