...And Cushi Came - Dayo Brown - Bog

For a very long time in the history of Western civilization, persons of African descent have been portrayed in negative ways; and this has led them not only to question their own identity but also their part in God's plan of salvation. Many have lost every sense of self-worth because of the stereotype presentation of the Black man. However, the impressive volumes of historical facts and theological reappraisals of ancient biblical traditions which have become available over the years attest to the fact that Africa, her people, nations, and cultures must be acknowledged as making significant and direct contributions to the development of Christianity, and indeed the world.My purpose in this book is to focus on Scriptures as it relates specifically to persons of African descent and by so doing, foster the truth of multiculturalism which is inherent in the Holy Bible. God is not a racist; neither is my treatise presented from a racial point of view; rather, an interpretation of the Scriptures based on racial pluralism and inclusiveness will be demonstrated in this teaching. Simple facts as presented in the Bible, supported by historical evidence, and sound logic and reasoning form the basis of my thesis.In this book, three major questions will be answered:1. Is the Black man really cursed as some claim?2. Has God ever had any use of the Black man?3. What is the place of the Black man in God's end-time agenda?It is also my aim to expose readers of this book to truthful biblical facts, and hopefully to enhance the thinking of Black people about themselves in world history.
