| black history facts in the bible: The Bible is Black History Theron D Williams, 2022-08-03 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 about 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.This Second Edition provides updated information and further elucidation of key concepts. Also, at the encouragement of readership, this edition expands some of the ideas and addresses concerns my readership felt pertinent to this topic. |
| black history facts in the 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 facts in the bible: The Black Presence in the Bible Walter Arthur McCray, 1989 SEXUALLY SANCTIFIED DIVORCE . . . explores the anatomy of marital fracture that may result from a believer's sexual cleansing subsequent to getting married. Sex is very powerful, and a strong drive for sex is a foremost motivation for many believers to marry. Believers who formerly were sexually immoral or obsessed usually experience spiritual growth and sexual cleansing in marriage. They cease practicing sexually immoral attitudes, actions, and relations, and they no longer tolerate such thinking and behavior by their mate. The divine transformation may change and disrupt their marital relations, and the sexual dysfunction will stress the marital union. Thus, a believer's sexual sanctification may justifiably, though negatively, impact their marital relationship and result in a breakup.In the perspective of SEXUALLY SANCTIFIED DIVORCE, Christian divorce may not indicate spiritual degeneration. Certain breakups signal a believer's spiritual growth in sexual temperament and conduct. Believers who face the disruptive marital consequences of living a clean sexual life may actually evince a positive response to Church teachings on sexual holiness.Chapters Feature: Christian Divorce, Sexual Passion and Marriage, Sexual Sanctification, Sanctified Divorce |
| black history facts in the 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 facts in the bible: A History of the Bible John Barton, 2019-06-04 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 facts in the bible: Plain Theology for Plain People Charles Octavius Boothe, 2017-09-20 Everyday Christians need practical and accessible theology. In this handbook first published in 1890, Charles Octavius Boothe simply and beautifully lays out the basics of theology for common people. Before the charge 'know thyself,' Boothe wrote, ought to come the far greater charge, 'know thy God.' He brought the heights of academic theology down to everyday language, and he helps us do the same today. Plain Theology for Plain People shows that evangelicalism needs the wisdom and experience of African American Christians. Walter R. Strickland II reintroduces this forgotten masterpiece for today. Lexham Classics are beautifully typeset new editions of classic works. Each book has been carefully transcribed from the original texts, ensuring an accurate representation of the writing as the author intended it to be read. |

| black history facts in the bible: The Color of Christ Edward J. Blum, Paul Harvey, 2012-09-21 How is it that in America the image of Jesus Christ has been used both to justify the atrocities of white supremacy and to inspire the righteousness of civil rights crusades? In The Color of Christ, Edward J. Blum and Paul Harvey weave a tapestry of American dreams and visions--from witch hunts to web pages, Harlem to Hollywood, slave cabins to South Park, Mormon revelations to Indian reservations--to show how Americans remade the Son of God visually time and again into a sacred symbol of their greatest aspirations, deepest terrors, and mightiest strivings for racial power and justice. The Color of Christ uncovers how, in a country founded by Puritans who destroyed depictions of Jesus, Americans came to believe in the whiteness of Christ. Some envisioned a white Christ who would sanctify the exploitation of Native Americans and African Americans and bless imperial expansion. Many others gazed at a messiah, not necessarily white, who was willing and able to confront white supremacy. The color of Christ still symbolizes America's most combustible divisions, revealing the power and malleability of race and religion from colonial times to the presidency of Barack Obama. |

| black history facts in the bible: The Fortney Encyclical Black History Albert Fortney Jr., 2016-01-15 The Encyclical Black History has been created for the critical and lack of vital Afro-Centric Multi-Curriculum text in urban school systems and is a necessity for African Americans. This book was created with careful and serious attention to biographical names that identifies history, culture as well as biblical characters. The reason why of this encyclical history can be explained with the facts and proof/evidence of the following. The point that has socio-psychological implications at the unconscious as well as the conscious level is the great little white racist lie, seen long enough, becomes the truth; like, portraying a white Jesus Christ who was a black man. Dr. Alvin Poussaint, a Black psychiatrist associated with Harvard University and others have observed and explained the most tragic part of all of this is that the African American has come to form his self image and self-concept on the basis of what white racists have laid down as a guide or prescribed. Therefore, black men and women learn quickly to hate themselves and each other more than their white oppressor. There is almost infinite evidence that racism has left almost irreparable scars on the psyche of Afro-Americans that burden with an unrelenting, painful anxiety that drives the psyche to reach out for a sense of identity and self-esteem. Poussaint and others say that black children, especially learn to hate themselves at very early ages. Studies reveal their preference for white dolls over black ones. One study reported that black children in their drawings tend to show blacks as small, incomplete people and whites as strong and powerful. To conclude, in western color symbolism white is positive and black negative. Many people might ask why the contributions of Africa should be included in American curriculum? Is because they bleach and still rob black history and culture with black pictured as white that lie, leaves us mentally-dead, angry, and without purpose, of where we are going! Human culture is the product of all humanity, not the possession of a single racial or ethnic group. Afro-centric Multicultural educations major aim is to close the gap between Western ideals of equality, justice and practices that contradict these ideas. Stereotype people of color and people who are poor have just about no opportunities to become free of perspectives that are monoculture, that devalue African culture victimize them mostly having an inability to fully, function effectively in society. Many of these problems could be miraculously remedied with astonishing results if explained of black scientific achievements, which occurred in black Africa. There are also white African Americans living in the U.S.A. besides black African Americans, should make the distinction. Carl Sandburg (1979) related a dialogue between a white American and an American Indian which illustrates the need for multicultural education: The white man drew a small circle in the sand and told the red man, This is what the Indian knows, and drawing a big circle around the small one, this is what is what the white man knows. The Indian then took the stick and swept an immensely big ring around both circles and said, this is where the white man and the red man knows nothing. |
| black history facts in the bible: Philosophy of Religion and the African American Experience John H. McClendon III, 2017-07-03 Most white philosophers of religion generally presume that philosophy of religion is based on what is a false universality; whereby the white/Western experience is paradigmatic of humanity at-large. The fact remains that Howard Thurman, James H. Cone and William R. Jones, among others, have produced a substantial amount of theological work quite worthy of consideration by philosophers of religion. Yet this corpus of thought is not reflected in the scholarly literature that constitutes the main body of philosophy of religion. Neglect and ignorance of African American Studies is widespread in the academy. By including chapters on Thurman, Cone and Jones, the present book functions as a corrective to this scholarly lacuna. |
| black history facts in the 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. |

This is first and foremost an outreach tool, but it also makes a great gift for anyone that wants to see the hard evidence. + Full Color Images + Minimal Commentary + Designed To Start The Conversation Inside of the book you'll find: + Maps + Paintings + Statues + Explorer Journal Entries + Memorandum To The President of The United States All of the evidence adds up to the fact that there was a multi national conspiracy to kidnap, enslave, and hide the true history of Negroes scattered all over the world through the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

| black history facts in the 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 facts in the bible: The Great Stain Noel Rae, 2018-02-20 “Eyewitness testimonies to the culture and commerce of slavery . . . coupled with smart commentary” from an acclaimed historian. “Essential.”(Kirkus Reviews) In this important book, Noel Rae integrates firsthand accounts into a narrative history that brings the reader face to face with slavery’s everyday reality. From the travel journals of sixteenth-century Spanish settlers who offered religious instruction and “protection” in exchange for farm labor, to the diaries of Reverend Cotton Mather, to Central Park designer Frederick Law Olmsted’s travelogue about the “cotton states,” to an 1880 speech given by Frederick Douglass, Rae provides a comprehensive portrait of the antebellum history of the nation. Most significant are the testimonies from former slaves themselves, ranging from the famous Solomon Northup to the virtually unknown Mary Reynolds, who was sold away from her mother as child. Drawing on thousands of original sources, The Great Stain tells of a society based on the exploitation of labor and fallacies of racial superiority. Meticulously researched, this is a work of history that is profoundly relevant to our world today. “Noel Rae expertly assembles the most consequential accounts from the era of the American slave trade. . . . A vivid and comprehensive picture.” —Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Award-winning author of Stamped From the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America “Uniquely immediate, multivoiced, specific, arresting, and illuminating.” —Booklist “Many histories have been written of slavery in America, but far too few have let the participants, and particularly the victims, speak so directly for themselves. Rae has helped to fill that historical vacuum in this important work, and the voices are intense, eloquent, and haunting.” —National Book Review |

| black history facts in the bible: Biblical Ancestry Voyage Bishop Wm. LaRue Dillard, 2020-03-05 Biblical Ancestry Voyage reveals facts of significant black characters in the Holy Bible of several ethnic groups of humankind, especially people of color. Further, to dispel the false notion that the Holy Bible was written for Anglo-Saxon ethnic people. (This has been the status quo of the teaching almost worldwide as it relates to God's use of ethnic people listed in the Holy Bible.) I pray that this writing will saturate the minds and hearts of both young and old of every ethnic group of the human race in respect to God's crown of His creation: mankind. My spiritual gift of teaching, preaching, under-shepherding, symposium leader, and writing has been a labor of love for over sixty-two years designed for the extension of the kingdom of God. My goal is to accurately portray and exegete from an ancestry point of view, and biblical interpretation of the Bible's message pointing to biblical characters of color, no matter their skin pigmentation. This truth has been distorted for many years, causing millions of ethnic people to feel left out of the divine design of god Almighty. The force of my biblical episcopate ministry is in the area of shaping the hopes and hurts, success and failures, joys and sorrows of the saints of my parish flock, as well as others. I envision as a part of my divine commission to be an encouraging cheerleader for the affluent and the downtrodden throughout their life and a confidant for their triumphs.

It is the only book containing an accurate record of the progress of man toward civilization, and it is the indispensable reference of all searchers after the real facts of the birth of humanity and its progress toward the civilization of today; beginning with his creation, it is the only authentic record of man; authentic because it is first hand, not a copy of something else or a scientific or literary review, but a dispassionate record of man's creation and progress, untrimmed, unshaped and unvarnished, to suit prejudice. It would not be a complete record if it did not show with the rest of them the origin of the black man and Woe for all these pinnacle thieves—it shows that he, the black man is the father of civilization._x000D_ James Morris Webb (1878-1940) was an American scholar and preacher. |

| black history facts in the bible: Great Women of The Bible Theron D Williams, 2020-09-24 The Bible emerged from a male dominated, patriarchal society. Therefore, 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 a way that 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 to join forces with God to roll out the plan of salvation, liberation and redemption. These great women of the Bible made such profound contributions; without whom the Bible would be incomplete. This book considers the lives and ministries of seven amazing women of the Bible. Eve, who is the mother of all who lived. She was the last entity created by the very hand of God. When God finished creating Eve God said it is very good. Thus, Eve represents the divine standard of all that is good and beautiful. Deborah is the only woman judge in Israelite history. She is also the first prophet whose prophetic ministry unfolded in the land of Israel. She set the standard for the prophetic order in Israel. Queen Vashti is the uncompromising woman who lost her queenship for refusing to be sexually objectified by a powerful man. Queen Esther was the Hebrew woman who arose to power in Persia but never forgot where she came from, thus saved the Hebrews in Persia from extermination. Mary, the mother of our Lord, who came from an oppressed and marginalized community, was the least likely person to be given the responsibility to provide parental leadership to the Savior of the world. Mary Magdalene was arguably one of Jesus' most important disciples. And Lydia, was Paul's first European convert. She was recognized as the first Christian Businesswoman and a founding member of the church at Philippi. This work seeks to understand these great women 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 impacted them. This book presents their stories in a way that parallels the stories of Black women in America. At the end of each chapter there are reflection questions designed to stimulate group discussions. Or, if you are reading for personal devotion, these questions may arouse deep self-reflection. This book also contains beautiful physical depictions of these great women according to the author's understanding of the historical images of the people of the Bible. |
