5.0 out of 5 stars Out of the Dust of Ignorance The Truth Rises Again, February 22, 2001

By

This review is from: The Original African Heritage Study Bible: King James Version (Hardcover)

As The Truth is always destined to rise again, so does The Original African Heritage Study Bible come forth by unquenchable daylight into it's intended prominence. This book is a miracle. The various essays which highlight the ancient spiritual facts which transcend space-time dimensional understanding are like a breath of fresh air for a rescued drowning victim. For this work to actually be manifested and distributable among true believers is equivalent to a black hole in the far reaches of space suddenly reversing it's magnetic force of destruction and becoming a nuclear fusion miracle of LIGHT again which radiates life to all who will see. Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness and desire to have a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the deep and intimate knowledge of The Lord will breathe a sigh of relief as they ponder the once hidden but now made known truths such as: THE MYTHICAL CURSE OF HAM / AFRICA, THE GARDEN OF EDEN[Historical Evidence] / THE RIVERS OF EDEN / WHAT COLOR WAS JESUS? / AFRICAN-EDENIC WOMEN AND THE SCRIPTURES / THE ANCIENT BLACK CHRISTIANS / EARLY MARTYRDOM AND AFRICAN CHRISTIANS / PHILIP AND THE EUNUCH and so much more. This information is not presented from a racist point of view which would only be the darkness of ignorance, but from the facts as they should have been known since long long ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Give a Bible less than FIVE STARS???, January 23, 2004

Not on MY life I won't.

Being the owner of this distinctive edition, I have yet to find the "typos" mentioned by earlier reviewers. I appreciate the footnotes, highlighting Biblical text with details as it relates to an African perspective.

The book has photographs depicting various stories and events of Bible history, with actors portraying important and relevant "inhabitants" of the text.

Another "bonus" is the inclusion of African-American spirituals in the book's appendix. These songs were invaluable to the slaves as a testament to their faith as well as a strategy to be used to announce "running" from their oppressors.

5.0 out of 5 stars AND...WHO WASHED THE DISHES AT THE LAST SUPPER!?, March 8, 1998

By 

[e-mail] (Laurelton, New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Original African Heritage Study Bible: King James Version (Hardcover)

We have been a people desimated by what we have been told what we were not and what we did not do or have or the potential to be at least human. We were forced to accept christianity on someone elses terms. And today (1998) we are still begging at the backdoor of the plantation and expected to back into the American Dream while everyone else runs screaming forward. This Bible is a must have for every African Descendant family and is required reading. The answers that are contained in the text will truly set you Free! What I call the required questions for a christian who is Saved and has accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior are answered. The LORD asks are you Holy? The world asks are you humble? GOD asks are you Saved? The world asks are you Successful? JESUS asks are you Worthy? The world asks are you wealthy? The HOLY SPIRIT asks are you Prayful? The world asks are you Political? Ths African Heritage Study Bible is clear on all of these issues and points out that GOD is NOT a Republican, GOD is NOT a Democrat, but rather GOD IS A COSMOCRAT!!---------- YAA ASANTEWAA NZINGA
