Africans and Africa in the Bible : an ethnic and geographic approach / Tim Welch ; foreword by M. Daniel Carroll. - Revised and amplified edition. - xvi, 143 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
Africans in the Old Testament -- Africans in the New Testament -- African places in the Bible -- Conclusion.
This 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.
