With the Bible as a guide and heaven as the goal, Oneness Embraced calls God's people to kingdom-focused unity. It tells us why we don't have it, what we need to get it, and what it will look like when we do. Mr. Evans weaves his own story into this word to the church.

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.

An Introduction to Womanist Biblical Interpretation provides a much-needed introduction to womanist approaches to biblical interpretation. It argues that womanist biblical interpretation is not simply a byproduct of feminist biblical interpretation but part of a distinctive tradition of African American women's engagement with biblical texts. While womanist biblical interpretation is relatively new in the development of academic biblical studies, African American women are not newcomers to biblical interpretation. Written in an accessible style, this volume highlights the importance of both the Bible and race in the development of feminism and the emergence of womanism. It provides a history of feminist biblical interpretation and discusses the current state of womanist biblical interpretation as well as critical issues related to its development and future. Although some African American women identify themselves as "womanists," the term, its usage, its features, and its connection to feminism remain widely misunderstood. This excellent textbook is perfect for helping to introduce readers to the development and applications of womanist biblical interpretation.

"REVEALING" (BLACK WOMEN) IN THE BIBLE There are many "Black Woman" in the Bible - all descendants of "Ham," (Noah's dark-skinned son) Gen.10:6-29. However, because "all" women in the Bible are always depicted as "White/Caucasian," in books, pictures, films, sculptures, and even pictorial Bibles, you wouldn't know that! So, today, we will "Unveil" (Black Women) in the Bible! There are "32" women featured in this book. Not only are their stories finally being told, but each is also displayed with a beautiful, colorful photo that represents what they could have looked like during their lifetime (Old Testament) as well as (New Testament) eras. To better understand the diversity of peoples on the earth, we must get an understanding of "how" it came about. Here's how it all began:When God decided to end the old world with a "flood" (saving only Noah, his wife, "3" sons and their wives); "8" people in all, the entire earth became populated from these "8" people who were already descendants of mixed races of people (Gen.7:13).No one was cursed "Black" as African-Americans have been told by religious, racist White people, but were already Black when they entered the Ark. Noah and his sons were descendants of Adam and Eve (who were also dark-skinned - created from the dark soil of the earth - the "dust" or "ground," (Gen.2:7).Scripture lists each of their descendants. Noah's wife was "Caucasian," but Noah, himself, was a "dark-skinned" man. We draw this conclusion by the sons Noah produced. Noah's oldest son, (Japheth) carried more of his mother's "Caucasian/melanin deficient" gene. According to Scripture, his descendants all migrated to a colder climate known today as (Europe). There are only "4" short verses in the book of (Genesis) stating where Japheth's descendants eventually settled - nothing more, no history whatsoever! When we research each of the places listed, they are all, indeed, regions that make up "Europe" (Gen.10:2-5); the homeland of the White race.The entire rest of the "Old Testament," and "New Testament" is the history of Noah's other (2) sons: "(Shem)," and "(Ham)!" Shem was Noah's middle son. He inherited a balanced mixture of both parents; taking on more of a typical Middle Eastern complexion (light tan/brown). The history of Shem's descendants covers "11" verses in Genesis, (Gen.10:21-32). But the Jews living in Israel today are "not" bloodline descendants of "Shem" (ancient Israel) - they converted to Judaism many years later. They are called "Ashkenazi Jews," meaning, they are bloodline descendants of "Japheth" (melanin-deficient Caucasian)!This explains why it appears strange to non-White races of people that racist Whites hate White Jews (they all look alike). Both carry the same melanin-deficient DNA of "Japheth!" The only difference is their religion.But Noah's youngest son, "(Ham)" inherited his father's (dark-skinned)! And his descendants' history covers more verses than his "2" brother (Japheth, and Shem), "14" in all (Gen.10:6-20). Both "Shem" and "Ham's" history can be followed throughout the Old and New Testaments. And surprisingly, Shem and Ham's descendants married interracially regularly, i.e., "Moses" (Shem descendant, married "Zipporah," Ham descendant) Num.12. So, here's where we find the history of (Black Women) in the Bible. So, come, learn the hidden spiritual history of (Black Women) in the Bible!

Ruth Tucker recounts a harrowing story of abuse at the hands of her husband—a well-educated, charming preacher no less—in hope that her story would help other women caught in a cycle of domestic violence and offer a balanced biblical approach to counter such abuse for pastors and counselors. Weaving together her shocking story, stories of other women, and powerful stories of husbands who truly have demonstrated Christ’s love to their wives, with reflection on biblical, theological, historical, and contemporary issues surrounding domestic violence, she makes a compelling case for mutuality in marriage and helps women and men become more aware of potential dangers in a doctrine of male headship.
