Dr Solomon Andria has retired after many fruitful years coordinating Langham Literature’s work in Francophone Africa.
Originally from Madagascar, Solomon (see photo) was an integral part of Langham’s publishing work since its inception. This included being the general editor of both the Malagasy (Madagascar language) and French editions of the Africa Bible Commentary (ABC ).
Producing the Malagasy edition of the ABC was no easy task. The translation was desperately needed for local people and pastors in particular. Malagasy is the common language of all 18 tribes on the island and key to their national identity.
