Relating the history of Africa to the Bible is something I have a strong interest in,therefore I really wanted to learn from this book, but it was a disappointment. I don't know if the author was trying to prove ancient civilizations were Black or biblical characters were black or what , whatever he is trying to prove , he executes it poorly. The author is all over the place, one minute he is talking about Solomon and Queen Sheba, then Egypt then Islam. He obviously comes from Christian or Jewish theology and this may have complicated things. He jumps from the bible to political history in a illogical way . He throws subtle jabs at Islam, which had little to do with the subject. There were a few facts that were good to know, but better to get a more reliable source
This book is short, but extremely dense. It could have used 200 more pages and a really good editor. That being said, things did finally start to connect about 3/4 of the way through. This book serves as a starting place for research on ancient Black civilizations.
This book was filled with great information about the Black Hebrews. I was skeptical at first but Rudolph R. Windsor really took his time to thoroughly explain the diaspora of Black Hebrew Jews. If you aren’t familiar with this subject the information provided can be a bit overwhelming. It also isn’t the most fun read but the information was golden.
A real eye-opener on so many levels. It would not be hyperbole to say that it totally transformed my take on huge swathes of Biblical/Qur'anic history that I'd assumed subconsciously and pretty much taken for granted.
