There are many races on the surface of the earth today, there were probably more in the not so distant past as many races have become extinct in the due to wars, disease, natural disasters or some other forces. From where did all these races come to be? Please note that in this publication I am not going to be concerned with the origin of humans per se, whether he was created, evolved or fell from above, but rather with the physical nature, features, colour or the ethnicity of the first humans on this planet earth. What race were the first humans on the planet earth, the original race? Were they Caucasian, Negroid, Mongoloid, Capoid or Australoid? In other words were they white, black, yellow, brown or some other colour? If you have ever seen a photo of or a movie about Adam and Eve or Jesus Christ, in almost every one of those photos or movies, they are portrayed as white, Caucasian people. The images are so ubiquitous and so engraved into our common psyches that it is taken as a matter of fact that these figures were actually white, Caucasian people. To the extent that to even think otherwise or openly question it could be interpreted as either offensive, anti-Semitic or blasphemous by not a few people and in not a few places. However we should not shirk from searching for knowledge and sharing our findings afterwards just because somebody somewhere may not like it. In this publication I will try to give incontrovertible evidence from science, history and the Bible that will prove without any further doubt that the first humans on the planet earth were Negroid, black people. That, in other words Adam, Eve was black! And that, so also was Jesus Christ himself. So I invite you to keep an open mind and read on, think with me and possibly see for yourself!

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.

Jesus Christ is arguably the most famous man who ever lived. His image adorns countless churches, icons, and paintings. He is the subject of millions of statues, sculptures, devotional objects and works of art. Everyone can conjure an image of Jesus: usually as a handsome, white man with flowing locks and pristine linen robes. But what did Jesus really look like? Is our popular image of Jesus overly westernized and untrue to historical reality? This question continues to fascinate. Leading Christian Origins scholar Joan E. Taylor surveys the historical evidence, and the prevalent image of Jesus in art and culture, to suggest an entirely different vision of this most famous of men. He may even have had short hair.

Christians live in a culture with more questions than ever - questions that affect one's acceptance of the Bible as authoritative and trustworthy. Now, discover easy-to-understand answers that reach core truths of the Christian faith and apply the biblical worldview to a wide variety of subjects.

What if the biblical creation account is true, with the origins of Adam and Eve taking place alongside evolution? Building on well-established but overlooked science, S. Joshua Swamidass explains how it's possible for Adam and Eve to be rightly identified as the ancestors of everyone, opening up new possibilities for understanding Adam and Eve consistent both with current scientific consensus and with traditional readings of Scripture.
