By: Zebron Ncube

This unique digital resource is designed to strengthen biblical teaching and discipleship within the Ndebele-speaking community. Doing Theology in Ndebele is a complete A–Z theological glossary, providing clear definitions, accurate Ndebele translations, and notes that help pastors, evangelists, teachers, and Bible students communicate key Christian beliefs with clarity and confidence.
