Book Description
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.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
The Talking Book casts the Bible as the central character in a vivid portrait of black America, tracing the origins of African-American culture from slavery’s secluded forest prayer meetings to the bright lights and bold style of today’s hip-hop artists. The Bible has profoundly influenced African Americans throughout history. From a variety of perspectives this wide-ranging book is the first to explore the Bible’s role in the triumph of the black experience. Using the Bible as a foundation, African Americans shared religious beliefs, created their own music, and shaped the ultimate key to their freedom—literacy. Allen Callahan highlights the intersection of biblical images with African-American music, politics, religion, art, and literature. The author tells a moving story of a biblically informed African-American culture, identifying four major biblical images—Exile, Exodus, Ethiopia, and Emmanuel. He brings these themes to life in a unique African-American history that grows from the harsh experience of slavery into a rich culture that endures as one of the most important forces of twenty-first-century America.

Book Description
“Do you know who you are?” In Walking in Revelation, author J. Davidson-Elliott seeks to illuminate the real children of Abraham to the world. The true Hebrews are not currently living in Israel but have been spread across the four corners of the Earth by the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Today's Black Americans and Negro people, who have been scattered, are the remnant of the Tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi, the Biblical Hebrews God’s distinct people. As the end of times draws near, Walking in Revelation contends that the Word of God must be fulfilled. Repentance is the key to ending the captivity that Hebrews have continued to experience throughout history. Daily the truth is being revealed, and the identity crises suffered by Hebrews will end. The Children of Abraham must seek to reestablish a loving relationship with The Most-High. Acceptance, forgiveness, prayer, and asking God for understanding will also bring redemption to the Christian Church.

Book Description
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.
