black history bible: The Bible is Black History Theron D. Williams, 2020 We live in an age when younger African-American Christians are asking tough questions that previous generations would dare not ask. This generation doesn't hesitate to question the validity of the Scriptures, the efficacy of the church and even the historicity of Jesus. Young people are becoming increasingly curious as to what role, if any, did people of African descent play in biblical history? Or, if the Bible is devoid of Black presence, and is merely a book by Europeans, about Europeans and for Europeans to the exclusion of other races and ethnicities? Dr. Theron D. Williams makes a significant contribution to this conversation by answering the difficult questions this generation fearlessly poses. Dr. Williams uses facts from the Bible, well-respected historians, scientists, and DNA evidence to prove that Black people comprised the biblical Israelite community. He also shares historical images from the ancient catacombs that vividly depict the true likeness of the biblical Israelites. This book does not change the biblical text, but it will change how you understand it. |
black history bible: Oneness Embraced Tony Evans, 2015-09-24 Oneness is hard to achieve. Let the kingdom unity of Scripture point the way. Today’s world is torn apart. Tension is everywhere. Brother is pitted against brother, sister against sister, citizen against citizen, even Christian against Christian. It’s so hard to find agreement—much less real harmony—in our polarized society. Can there be a way forward? Tony Evans knows how elusive unity can be. As a black man who’s also a leader in white evangelicalism, he understands how hard it can be to bring these worlds together. Yet he’s convinced that the gospel provides a way for Christians to find oneness despite the things that divide us. In the Word of God, we find a kingdom-based approach to matters of history, culture, the church, and social justice. In this book, you’ll get: A Biblical Look at Oneness A Historical View of the Black Church A Kingdom Vision for Societal Impact Although oneness is hard to achieve, the Christian must never stop striving. It’s a kingdom imperative. As Tony reminds us, “Glorifying God is our ultimate goal. Oneness exists to enable us to reach our goal.” |

black history bible: Biblical Black History C. J. Wilson, 2017-02-27 From Adam to you, the reader, looking at the terms DUST, DARKNESS and or BLACK takes on a whole new meaning. For many years these words have been used as derogatory terms toward black people. Learning how to read or write those same words or any of the English language for that matter, made black people subject to being beaten, flogged, whipped, or even lynched. Teaching the WORD of God was for white men only, especially in the South. Eventually, times changed whereas now the most prominent ministers in America are predominately black. But something very deceptive also happened during that transitional period: REAL history was overlooked while a whole group of Americans were NOT told about their attachment to God's handiwork. Biblical Black History is a brief study that challenges the reader to look at history from a perspective that's different from any book you've EVER read. The writer takes his time to explain how hidden elements of race have been overlooked from an educational, racial, artistic, and historian's point of view. Most readers look at history as a boring subject. Most bible readers look at the history sections within the book as wasted pages or totally ignore them altogether. Most history books are perceived as old people books that don't relate to this generation or time. Well, this book is a challenge to ALL the misconceptions of how history is viewed and received. It's said that the best medicine you can take ,outside of a smile, is usually nasty but good for you. Perhaps this quick read is that medicine that can help heal a sick and divided world, beginning with you. |
black history bible: The Negro Bible - The Slave Bible , 2019-10-25 The Slave Bible was published in 1807. It was commissioned on behalf of the Society for the Conversion of Negro Slaves in England. The Bible was to be used by missionaries and slave owners to teach slaves about the Christian faith and to evangelize slaves. The Bible was used to teach some slaves to read, but the goal first and foremost was to tend to the spiritual needs of the slaves in the way the missionaries and slave owners saw fit. |

black history bible: Blacks in the Bible James H. Warden Jr., 2006-12 Abraham and his wife made their African slave a surrogate mother and she bore Abraham a half-black heir. Later, God wished to use Moses and his Ethiopian wife and half-Ethiopian sons to raise up a new race of Jews to replace the twelve tribes of Israel. Let's not forget that the Almighty did not object when Jacob passed the blessing of Abraham on to his half-African grandsons, Ephraim and Manasseh, in North Africa. In light of these facts it's amazing that early Americans wondered if blacks could be saved especially since it was big news to Jews that gentiles (Europeans) could be saved. Prior to the Apostles of Christ's debate about whether Europeans, called gentiles in Scripture, could be saved, Niger and Lucius were black Bible teachers at Antioch (where believers were first called Christians) and an Ethiopian eunuch had been saved and baptized. (Acts 13:1, 15:7) The first king, queen, prince, and princess in the Bible were black. It was an African princess who found Moses floating down the Nile in Africa. Later Esther a dark skinned Jew won a black beauty contest that stretched from India to Ethiopia. Blacks in the Bible Vol. I shows you truths stranger than fiction. |

black history bible: The African American Guide to the Bible H.C. Felder, 2018-10-31 The African American Guide to the Bible makes the case for the relevance of the Bible from the perspective of people of color. It presents a comprehensive biblical view of topics of interest to African Americans and clarifies racial issues for white people. Part 1 addresses the inspiration of the Bible by giving evidence for its authenticity. A considerable amount of time is spent on examining the original text of the Bible, the archeological evidence, and the evidence from predictive prophecy to demonstrate the uniqueness of the Bible. Part 2 deals with the black presence in the Bible by demonstrating the prominence of people of color and black people in particular by highlighting their importance in the plan of God. It explains what it means to be black and demonstrates that the scientific and biblical evidence are both consistent with respect to race. Part 3 is a response to the arguments of racism used by critics of the Bible, for example, Christianity is the white man's religion and Bible supports slavery and racism. These arguments are examined and evaluated in light of scripture and the context of history. Part 4 deals with the unity of humanity from a biblical perspective. It shows why racism is not only unbiblical but is evil when understood from the perspective of God. |
black history bible: Blacks in the Bible James H. Warden, Jr., 2020-02-14 Blacks in the Bible. The first question the New Testament asks a Black man reading Scripture is, Do you understand what you are reading? God used dirt to make man in His image, the Imago Dei. He formed Himself as a soil colored man then placed that living image of Himself in Africa where His Garden began and where man's oldest bones are found. So, it is illogical to think that Adam, God's Image of Himself as dirt, was white. Do you know what book of the Bible is solely dedicated to a black woman? Do you know that Joseph was appointed an African wife by Africa's greatest king? Did you know that Ham was the only son of Noah that rode on the Ark and had land named after him? (Psalm 105:23 & 106:22) Did you know that Goliath that David slew was black? Did you know that every time God cursed skin, He turned it white, never black. Do you know the only verse in Scripture that God declares I am black?. saith the LORD, and that there are no I am white Scriptures? Did you know the last person Jesus healed was black? Do you know the only non-Jewish apostle of Jesus Christ was black and he descended from Canaan, and Ham is the father of Canaan. Do you know that Christ did no call any white apostles though Romans were all round Him? Do you know what Israelites passed as black royalty in Scripture? Do you know the two most powerful Queens in Scripture were black women. Do you know that Moses married an African woman? Do you know that the name of Ham's sons are on our maps today but their names in Scripture are hidden in Hebrew words? Do you know that there was no white blood in the children of Israel in the entire Old Testament and neither is there any white blood in the bloodline of Jesus the Messiah who has four infusions of black blood in His lineage. Do you know only one white man spoke in the Old Testament? |

black history bible: What Did Jesus Look Like? Joan E. Taylor, 2018-02-08 Jesus Christ is arguably the most famous man who ever lived. His image adorns countless churches, icons, and paintings. He is the subject of millions of statues, sculptures, devotional objects and works of art. Everyone can conjure an image of Jesus: usually as a handsome, white man with flowing locks and pristine linen robes. But what did Jesus really look like? Is our popular image of Jesus overly westernized and untrue to historical reality? This question continues to fascinate. Leading Christian Origins scholar Joan E. Taylor surveys the historical evidence, and the prevalent image of Jesus in art and culture, to suggest an entirely different vision of this most famous of men. He may even have had short hair. |
black history bible: Urban Apologetics Eric Mason, 2021-04-06 Urban Apologetics examines the legitimate issues that Black communities have with Western Christianity and shows how the gospel of Jesus Christ—rather than popular, socioreligious alternatives—restores our identity. African Americans have long confronted the challenge of dignity destruction caused by white supremacy. While many have found meaning and restoration of dignity in the black church, others have found it in ethnocentric socioreligious groups and philosophies. These ideologies have grown and developed deep traction in the black community and beyond. Revisionist history, conspiracy theories, and misinformation about Jesus and Christianity are the order of the day. Many young African Americans are disinterested in Christianity and others are leaving the church in search of what these false religious ideas appear to offer, a spirituality more indigenous to their history and ethnicity. Edited by Dr. Eric Mason and featuring a top-notch lineup of contributors, Urban Apologetics is the first book focused entirely on cults, religious groups, and ethnocentric ideologies prevalent in the black community. The book is divided into three main parts: Discussions on the unique context for urban apologetics so that you can better understand the cultural arguments against Christianity among the Black community. Detailed information on cults, religious groups, and ethnic identity groups that many urban evangelists encounter—such as the Nation of Islam, Kemetic spirituality, African mysticism, Hebrew Israelites, Black nationalism, and atheism. Specific tools for urban apologetics and community outreach. Ultimately, Urban Apologetics applies the gospel to black identity to show that Jesus is the only one who can restore it. This is an essential resource to equip those doing the work of ministry and apology in urban communities with the best available information. |

black history bible: Blackout Candace Owens, 2020-09-15 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER It’s time for a black exit. Political activist and social media star Candace Owens addresses the many ways that Democrat Party policies hurt, rather than help, the African American community, and why she and many others are turning right. Black Americans have long been shackled to the Democrats. Seeing no viable alternative, they have watched liberal politicians take the black vote for granted without pledging anything in return. In Blackout, Owens argues that this automatic allegiance is both illogical and unearned. She contends that the Democrat Party has a long history of racism and exposes the ideals that hinder the black community’s ability to rise above poverty, live independent and successful lives, and be an active part of the American Dream. Instead, Owens offers up a different ideology by issuing a challenge: It’s time for a major black exodus. From dependency, from victimhood, from miseducation—and the Democrat Party, which perpetuates all three. Owens explains that government assistance is a double-edged sword, that the Left dismisses the faith so important to the black community, that Democrat permissiveness toward abortion disproportionately affects black babies, that the #MeToo movement hurts black men, and much more. Weaving in her personal story, which ushered her from a roach-infested low-income apartment to1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, she demonstrates how she overcame her setbacks and challenges despite the cultural expectation that she should embrace a victim mentality. Well-researched and intelligently argued, Blackout lays bare the myth that all black people should vote Democrat—and shows why turning to the right will leave them happier, more successful, and more self-sufficient. |

black history bible: Great Women of the Bible Theron D. Williams, 2020 The Bible emerged from a male dominated, patriarchal society. Much of the biblical story casts men as the heroes and basically ignores women, most times treating them as insignificant role players. Nevertheless, the genius of the Holy Spirit arranged the biblical narrative in such a way that it makes it impossible to ignore certain women. Under the toxic patriarchal system of the biblical world, the women highlighted in this book broke through deeply ingrained sexist and misogynistic barriers, joined forces with God as God used them to help roll out the plan for salvation and redemption. These great women of the Bible made such profound contributions; without which the Bible would be incomplete. Despite the vast cultural and time gap that exists between these biblical heroines and women of modernity, it is striking that the same issues with which the women of the Bible had to grapple, still haunt women today. This book opens the portal through which modern women might engage the heroines of the Bible in contemporary conversations.--Back cover. |

black history bible: Unveiling Black People in the Bible (Tribe of Judah) Lessie Myles, 2017-03-02 _ Unveiling Black people in the Bible _Just like history books were written declaring Christopher Columbus discovered America, and that turned out not to be the truth; the same can be said about the Bible. The world has been led to believe that God's first created human beings [Adam and Eve] were created as Caucasian. Well, that has turned out to be a lie as well. How can we be certain this is a lie? By carefully reading God's Holy Scriptures - for Scripture tells us that God created His very first human beings from the ground; the earth (Gen.2:7)! What color is the ground, or earth? The earth is brown in color; not white! Science backs this fact: It is scientifically impossible for (2) Caucasians to reproduce a person of color. They do not carry melanin in their DNA to do so. Given this fact, we now know that God's first created human beings were, without a doubt, Black because people of color do exist. Given this truth, is it not prudent to conclude that Adam and Eve's children (Cain, Able and Seth) were also children of color? Would not Noah and most of our ancient biblical characters also be people of color? Science has also proven that (2) very dark-skinned people can and has produced a much lighter-skinned person (Albino), and even Caucasian. Moses is considered the father of Judaism. He was married to a dark-skinned Ethiopian woman (Numb.12:1). Yet every illustration (picture, sculpture, or film) depicts Moses' wife as Caucasian. This would make Moses' only (2) sons of color. These sons went on to reproduce many descendants of color (1Chron.23:14-17). The words and stories of the Bible are, indeed, true. However, when you take all of our very early biblical characters and their history and place someone else's face on it, this distorts God's truth - making it a lie; triggering deception. This is called manipulation - an asset of Satan; not God! This book unearths this buried true history of Black people in the Bible.

black history bible: The Complete Works of Blacks in the Bible James Warden, Jr., 2020-01-15 The Complete Works of Blacks in the Bible is 565 pages, illustrated, and uses the genealogy chart of Ham the father of the Black race to trace who was of the lineage of Ham in Scripture. The tribe from whence Jesus sprang, the tribe of Judah, began as a half black tribe when Judah, the tribe's founder married a Canaanite in Genesis chapter 38, and Ham is the father of Canaan the father of Canaanites. David killed a Canaanite and took his Gilonite-Canaanite wife which makes King Solomon as half black and half Jewish man. Ancient Egypt is called the land of Ham in Psalms 105:23 and 106:22 which means that the Pharaoh's who ruled over the land of Ham were black kings. The Scripture shows that the all the women in Jesus Christ's lineage had strong blood ties to Ham, the father of the Black race. Ham's sons, which are Noah's grandsons, are on our maps today. Their names were written in the King James Slave Trade Bible in Hebrew as a Cush, Mizraim, Phut, and Canaan to hide their black history. In English, Ham's sons, Noah's grandsons, names in English are Ethiopia, Mizraim, Libya, and Canaan. This book shows that blacks influenced every book in the Old Testament wherein only one white male, a descendant of Noah's eldest son Japheth, had a speaking part. This book unmasks the fact that only Hamites married Shem's the father of Hebrew Semites in the record of the Old Testament. No Europeans intermarried with any Hebrew in the 39 books of the Old Testament. When Joseph summoned every Hebrew in the world to Africa they totaled 70, and only 2 of them were females. So, who did the 56 Hebrew bachelors marry in the land of Ham when accompanied their by the 11 founding fathers of the tribe of Israel. Jesus had no white blood in his veins, yet Eurocentrism depicts Him as a white male. Jesus Christ was NOT an Ashkenazi Jew.

black history bible: A History of the Bible John Barton, 2020-08-04 A literary history of our most influential book of all time, by an Oxford scholar and Anglican priest In our culture, the Bible is monolithic: It is a collection of books that has been unchanged and unchallenged since the earliest days of the Christian church. The idea of the Bible as Holy Scripture, a non-negotiable authority straight from God, has prevailed in Western society for some time. And while it provides a firm foundation for centuries of Christian teaching, it denies the depth, variety, and richness of this fascinating text. In A History of the Bible, John Barton argues that the Bible is not a prescription to a complete, fixed religious system, but rather a product of a long and intriguing process, which has inspired Judaism and Christianity, but still does not describe the whole of either religion. Barton shows how the Bible is indeed an important source of religious insight for Jews and Christians alike, yet argues that it must be read in its historical context--from its beginnings in myth and folklore to its many interpretations throughout the centuries. It is a book full of narratives, laws, proverbs, prophecies, poems, and letters, each with their own character and origin stories. Barton explains how and by whom these disparate pieces were written, how they were canonized (and which ones weren't), and how they were assembled, disseminated, and interpreted around the world--and, importantly, to what effect. Ultimately, A History of the Bible argues that a thorough understanding of the history and context of its writing encourages religious communities to move away from the Bible's literal wording--which is impossible to determine--and focus instead on the broader meanings of scripture. |

black history bible: Africa and the Bible Edwin M. Yamauchi, 2006-07-01 The curse of Ham has been used to legitimize slavery. Both Ethiopians and Arabians claim the queen of Sheba. Could Moses and Jesus have been black? Edwin Yamauchi explores the historical and archaeological background of biblical texts that refer to Africa and traces the results of past interpretations and misinterpretations. He covers such topics as the curse of Ham's son Canaan, Moses' Cushite wife, Simon the Cyrene, and afrocentric biblical interpretation. Along the way, he dispels myths, interacts with current theories, and provides readers with sound judgments as to what the Bible does and does not say. Readers interested in the connections between Africa and the Bible will enjoy this insightful book. More then eighty photos, maps, and charts are included. |

black history bible: YOUNG HEROES of the BIBLE: Contemporary Conversations Theron Williams, 2020-08-31 This book highlights the contributions to Salvation history made by such young heroes as Samuel, David, Jeremiah, the Hebrew Boys, the Boy Jesus, Timothy and Titus. These biblical superstars' lives and ministries etched such a profound mark upon the pages of Holy Writ, without which the Bible would be incomplete. It is believed that Samuel was as young as twelve years old when he uttered his first prophecies to his beloved mentor, Eli. David was just a teenager when he defeated Goliath, the giant champion of the Philistine army. Some rabbinical sources suggest that Jeremiah was no more than seventeen years old when he began his prophetic ministry, and there is overwhelming historical evidence that the Hebrew boys were still in their teens when they took a stand for their faith in the face of a fiery furnace. Our Lord, Jesus Christ, amazed the teachers of the Law in the temple at twelve years old, and Timothy and Titus were very young men, perhaps teenagers, when they became apostle Paul's protégés joining him on his missionary journeys. This work seeks to understand these young heroes from the vantage point of their historical contexts. In so doing, we have a better appreciation of how their political, economic, religious and social realities influenced their messages and missions. Young Heroes of the Bible: Contemporary Conversations presents their stories in a way that parallels the stories of young, Black men in America. At the end of each chapter are reflection questions designed to stimulate group discussions or, if reading for personal devotion, questions that may arouse deep self-reflection. The beautiful, physical depictions of these heroes, according to the author's understanding of the historical images of the people of the Bible, make Young Heroes of the Bible: Contemporary Conversations a must have and perfect complement to Great Women of the Bible: Contemporary Conversations. |
