Bible History Of The Negro

“My object in sending forth this volume to the public is with the hope of inspiring a greater desire to read the Bible, especially among our young people. It is the only absolutely true and impartial book universally read today, containing the history of the ancient triumphs and glorious achievements of the race, assigning the Negro a place among the foremost races of the world, in wealth, in education, in honor and in religion—a history to which every member of the race may point with great pride and profound gratitude to Almighty God today; for the best way to judge the future of any people is by the past.”

"Answers all vital Bible questions regarding the colored race, should be in every home and church." -Pittsburgh Courier, 1953 "Interesting, significant ... brings together all the references to the Negro in the Bible." -American Journal of Sociology, 1927 "The first of its kind in modern scholarship to detail the genealogy of Ham ... a biblical scholar of the first magnitude." -The Chronological History of the Roanoke Missionary Baptist Assoc. (2012) Reverend Richard A. Morrisey (born 1858) was a first-rate African-American biblical scholar--a valedictorian of Livingston College and a Doctor of Divinity, president of the Greeneville College, and the pastor of a number of churches in the American South and in Pennsylvania. In 1915, Morrisey published "Bible History of the Negro," with the hope of inspiring a greater desire to read the Bible" which he describes as giving "the Negro a place among the foremost races of the world, in wealth, in education, in honor and in religion--a history to which every member of the race may point with great pride and profound gratitude to Almighty God today; for the best way to judge the future of any people is by the past." Morrisey's book of unusual interest importance brings together brings together all the references to the black race in the Bible, covering: *HAM, *BATHSHEBA, THE QUEEN OF SHEBA, *THE WIDOW OF ZAREPHATH, *"WISE MEN FROM THE EAST," *GENEALOGY OF CHRIST, *ONE OF THE TWELVE DISCIPLES, *SIMON THE CYRENIAN, *MEMBERS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH, *NIMROD FOUNDER OF THE BABYLONIAN EMPIRE, *MELCHIZEDEK, *HAGAR AND ISHMAEL, *RAHAB, *WORKMEN OF THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON, *PHILIP AND THE ETHIOPIAN, *CANDACE, QUEEN OF ETHIOPIA. In debunking Noah's curse of Ham as a justification for slavery, Morrisey writes that Noah "no doubt was angry at the time and spoke as one in such a temper in those times naturally would speak. Again, God had already blessed the descendants of Ham before Noah made his attempt to curse them; and God had placed his blessings upon them and had not withdrawn it: Noah had no power to revoke whatever God had done, however great his desire to pronounce a curse." This book called "Bible History of the Negro Race" is indeed of unusual interest and importance. It may be rightly termed a brief history of some of the world's most illustrious men and women.

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.

The Bible History of the Negro is a 1915 collection of all Biblical references to Africans. The first of its kind, it offers a detailed overview of all the relevant passages in the Scriptures, and it caters to questions regarding people of color and the Bible. A valuable historical artifact, it sheds light on this African influence in the Bible and provides genealogical background of Ham.

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.

If you ever wanted IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE that black people wrote the Bible, you are looking at it! Anyone or group of people can claim to be the Lost Tribes of Israel. That is easy. But making such a claim does not mean it is true. Therefore, what separates the GENUINE Israelites from the wannabes is the EVIDENCE or PROOF they provide to support their claim. Sadly, there are reckless black people making such claims but when challenged for proof, they have nothing to show and come up short. Consequently, their blundering undermines our genuine Hebrew identity and turns it into a joke. Thus, because of their rash behaviour they cause huge damage to our black history. This book aims to arrest the damage done to our heritage by these less informed black people. It does so by providing the necessary evidence, which proves that large sections of the black race are the true Israelites. The PROOF/EVIDENCE provided in this book is quite unique. It is unlike anything you have read before and will ever read anywhere else. Also, it is comprehensive and designed to forever silence the critics. You will read information that nobody else knows but only the direct descendants of the ancient Israelites knows about. Thus, proving conclusively that we are indeed who we claim to be - the true children of Israel.
