AFRICA AND THE BIBLE
by Edwin M. Yamauchi ~ Christianity Today 2005 Book Award WINNNER! ~ Two hundred years ago, the "curse of Ham" was used to legitimize slavery. Both Ethiopians and Arabians claim the queen of Sheba. Could Moses and Jesus have been black? Much has been said about the connection between Africa and the Bible. Unfortunately, despite numerous references to Africa and Africans in the Bible, most scholarly works exploring ancient Africa ignore biblical references. On the other hand, contemporary afrocentric biblical studies often ignore the wealth of archaeological discoveries and historical discussions bearing on the subject. Well-respected scholar Edwin Yamauchi, fills these voids, offering a scholarly interpretation that integrates biblical exegesis, archaeological evidence, and recent historical discussions. Contains a complete scripture reference index. Over 280 + pages - softcover.

It can save you a lot of headaches in your new situation because it enables you to see what you cannot see at home--your own cultural baggage. Once you look into this mirror and see the pattern of American culture, you begin to realize why it can cause trouble in other cultural settings and how you can nip that trouble in the bud. The American cultural pattern is sketched through 235 common sayings, clustered around cultural values and issues such as success, self-esteem, initiative, family and hope. For example, "Just do it"? A really bad idea in a lot of cultures where respect for elders and authorities is crucial. "Time is money"? We are used to these sayings as rules of thumb but the day we set foot in another culture we discover that these rules are made to be broken.
