This book shows the presence and the participation of Africans in the biblical text, helping demonstrate that Christianity is not a "white man's religion" and that Christianity has deep roots in African soil.
It looks at all those in the Bible who can legitimately be considered as African, supporting its findings with bothancient and modern scholarship.
