Alex Haley's search for his "roots" restored to many Black Americans a long-lost sense of heritage. But it also made many of us wonder just how deep our roots might sink into the fertile ground of human history. Does the legacy passed on to us reach back to a time when Christ walked with us- perhaps even to the moment of creation? For the Christian, the questions become even more pointed: what role did dark-skinned people play in the early days of historical Christianity? In "Beyond Roots: In Search of Blacks in the Bible," Rev. William Dwight McKissic launches a search of his own, taking us from the days of Kunta Kinte to the very birth of humanity. His exegetical and historical perspectives shed light on important considerations for all Black believers: -Were there prominent Black characters in the Bible? Who were they? What role did they play? -Were any of the biblical writers Black? -Is there biblical evidence of a "curse" on dark-skinned people? -Did Black people receive Christ in slavery, or did they bring their faith with them to the shores of America? -Were there Black people on the earth before the days of Noah? -What role did Africans play in the early days of the Christian faith? "Beyond Roots: In Search of Blacks in the Bible" picks up where traditional theological training leaves off and restores to Black Christians their biblical birthright.
