AbstractAmos 9:7

AbstractThere are more than 20 references to Africa and Africans in the book of Psalms.Unfortunately, not much attention has been paid to this Psalmic portrayal of Africa and Africans. The book portrays Africa and Africans as enemies, and oppressors of ancient Israel, as an arena, and instrument of Yahweh’s salvation. They are instrument and recipient of Yahweh's judgment. The main reason for such frequent references to Africa and Africans in the book of the psalm is not only because they are familiar with Africans but they are highly respected and mighty in power. Their black skin colour also bring their respectable identity. (Isa 18:1-6). Psalm 68:31 has also been part of the slory of colonization, pan-Africaanism enslavement, civilizing mission, and self-liberation.

AbstractAs a major power in the ancient world, the Cushites had commercial and political dealings with many nations. Therefore it is no surprise to find them mentioned frequently in the Bible. Indeed, the Old Testament has fifty-four references to Cush or to Cushites. These references occur in Genesis, Numbers, 2 Samuel, 2 Kings, 1 and 2 Chronicles, Esther, Job, Psalms, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Amos, Nahum, and Zephaniah. The New Testament also refers to the Cushite civilization at Meroe when it uses the term “Ethiopian” of the eunuch whom Philip encountered in Acts 8.

AbstractThis book shows the presence and the participation of Africans in the biblical text, helping demonstrate that Christianity is not a "white man's religion," and that Christianity has deep roots in African soil. It looks at all those in the Bible who can legitimately be considered as African, supporting its findings with both ancient and modern scholarship. Extensive appendices indicate precisely the African people and places mentioned either directly or indirectly in the Christian Scriptures, supporting the premise that Africans are not simply recipients of the Gospel message, but they are an integral part of it. It is time for the Church in Africa to recognize its very rich biblical heritage. --From publisher's description
