African Peoples in the Bible

About the book

Synopsis

Africa is not a footnote in Scripture — it is woven into the biblical story from the rivers of Eden to the multitude gathered before the throne in Revelation. African Peoples in the Bible: From Genesis to Revelation is a comprehensive study that traces African peoples, places, and contributions across the entire biblical canon, revealing what centuries of interpretation have often obscured.

Discover Hagar the Egyptian, the first person in Scripture to name God; walk with Moses and his Cushite wife; journey with the Queen of Sheba to Solomon’s court; stand with Ebed-Melech as he rescues Jeremiah; follow the Holy Family’s flight to Egypt and Simon of Cyrene bearing the cross; witness the Ethiopian eunuch’s baptism and the African leaders who launched the Gentile mission from Antioch. Featuring fifteen original maps, Scripture in three translations (NKJV, The Message, Amplified), study guides, and contributions from the African Church Fathers, it invites a faithful reading of Scripture with open eyes.
