The African Presence in the Bible
By: Dr. William Watley & Dr. Raquel St. Clair
“Reverend, are there any black people in the Bible?”
With this compelling question, authors William Watley and Raquel Annette St. Clair open their discussion in The African Presence in the Bible. In 18 eye-opening sermons that were developed over a two-year period, the authors instill a new level of appreciation, belonging, and cultural acceptance by telling the Christian story of the African people’s geographic, cultural, and religious heritage.
This true picture of the African presence in Scripture is portrayed in an historically accurate and decisive manner. The lessons learned from the teachings of the African experience in the Bible also address many contemporary issues for people of all races

"When we read the Bible with educated understanding and an enlightened mind, we discover that we are neither invisible in the Scriptures nor late arrivals to salvation history. In...Genesis, at the very beginning of the Bible, before we get out of chapter 2, the presence of non-white people in general and African people in particular is established."
~from Chapter One
