Résumé

The purpose of this article is to explore possible benefits, but also challenges and risks, of group supervision, as experienced by participants in a particular project, namely the ‘Africanisation of Biblical Studies’ project. The project involved the writing of three doctoral theses by three African students from Madagascar, Tanzania, and Uganda respectively. The four main sections of the article contain a brief overview of extant studies on group supervision; the structure of the case study project; a discussion of the results of a questionnaire on the participants’ experiences of the group supervision aspect of the project; and a summary of the benefits, challenges and risks of group supervision according to the participants in the project.
