An Overview Of African Presence In The Bible

By Helen Long


Candid enough, the Christianity faith has been distorted by the recent theological publications and studies. This has been brought about by covering the black presence in the bible through whitewashing biblical history thus directly gearing to the saddening effects of racism. This is because the Holy Scripture is a multicultural book that is truly proven by archaeology and history which has outlined a vast number of incidences that manifests African presence in the bible.

However, a size-able number of sojourner crews have invested most of their mental and other resources to comprehensively extract the original truth in this book by uncovering African presence in it. This has been brought into action by the attribute of modern generation which typically bases their faith on a well-founded truth. Similarly, it has helped explain the homogeneity of using a sole hue when painting biblical characters.

It is clearly evidenced in biblical texts that Africa is the cradle of humankind and is mentioned more times in this book than any other landmass in the world. This out rightly shows its presence in this holy book and thus most events outlined in it took place in such a continent. This hypothesis is depicted by the mention of terms like Ethiopians, Egyptians, Cushitic or other tribal words rooted in this continent.

The Hebrew cultural heritage has also proven their existence in this holy book by defining the first man as a swarthy with a dark skin which is the all-time shade for Africans. Moreover, they also describe him as being a product of a dark clay soil which is always very black. On the other hand, the Romans catacombs show their paintings being done in black color. This clearly manifests the presence of black people in biblical events.

In addition, as the world nations are tabulated based on their origin, colored nations are pro-genies of a dark-skinned son of Noah, namely; Ham. This is based on the definition of his name which implies a dark-skinned person. This has vividly shown the factual availability of Africans in both the before Christ died and after his death.

Similarly, the biblical patriarchs most were married or had their children with women from Africa. This aspect has shown the rise of African dominance in scriptures. Therefore, most excluded biblical texts took place in landmass of this black generation. Therefore, their presence in this holy book has a crucial role in the overall theological activities.

Moreover, the Africans were at the founding of the early church after the day of Pentecost. This is clearly illustrated by the first Gentile convert who was the Ethiopian eunuch. Thus, the presence of Africans in biblical texts has helped channel the vision of the Creator for humanity which advocates majorly on a reconciled relationship in a diversified approach.

Therefore, the existence of Africans in biblical scriptures has helped bring a theme of diversity which shows the mighty will of God. Thus, this diverse attribute clearly shows that God cannot be contained in just one race, ethnicity or nation due to His mightiness attribute.
