Overview

English: Nwoma Kronkron — meaning “The Holy Book” — presents the Old and New Testaments (Ahyɛmu Dadaw nye Fofor no) in Fante, one of the principal Akan languages spoken along Ghana’s coastal region.

Published by the Bible Society of Ghana (BSG), this translation continues a long tradition of Fante Scripture beginning with the early missionary work of Johann Gottlieb Christaller in the 19th century. This Union Fante Version is widely used by churches across Ghana for public worship, personal devotion, and education.

Bound in durable hardcover, it includes both Testaments, titled in the Fante text as:

“Hen Agyenkwa Yesu Christ n’Ahyɛmu Fofor no” — “The New Covenant of our Saviour Jesus Christ.”
