This is a very readable, yet scholarly presentation of the scriptures. I usually read the Bible through each year, and read as many versions as possible. This one has wonderful articles on African American history as related to the Bible, has nice large print , has good references, and is faithful to standard translations. It is very readable, and hard to put down. One of my favorites that I will purchase for gifts.

this is a excellent book for youngters and grownups alike. full of facts about africans and thier place in the bible and the black church and its meaning in the african american community. full of beautifull color illustrations and is really hard to put down .

This stems from the Jubilee Project, which aimed at drawing together Biblical study and Afro-American experience: it presents supplementary material which focuses on Afro-American connections to the Biblical past, and it considers places, peoples, cultures, and social and religious influences on early societies. Chapters introduce and provide overviews of black peoples of the past, while Biblical books open with introductions on themes. Footnotes provide extensive historical and literary explanation and detail. Holy Bible: African American Jubilee Edition is a 'must' for any Afro-American reader who would establish links between Biblical and black history.
