Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion, Ethnicity and Xenophobia in the Bible looks at some of the Bible’s most hostile and violent anti-foreigner texts and raises critical questions about how students of the Bible and ancient Near East should grapple with "ethnicity" and "foreignness" conceptually, hermeneutically and theologically. The author uses insights from social psychology, cognitive psychology, anthropology, sociology and ethnic studies to develop his own perspective on ethnicity and foreignness. Starting with legends about Mesopotamian kings from the third millennium BCE, then navigating the Deuteronomistic and Holiness traditions of the Hebrew Bible, and finally turning to Deuterocanonicals and the Apostle Paul, the book assesses the diverse and often inconsistent portrayals of foreigners in these ancient texts. This examination of the negative portrayal of foreigners in biblical and Mesopotamian texts also leads to a broader discussion about how to theorize ethnicity in biblical studies, ancient studies and the humanities. This volume will be invaluable to students of ethnicity and society in the Bible, at all levels.

Book excerpt: Racial discord seems to be at a fever pitch currently, and people are nervous. With a polarizing U.S. president, an explosive white supremacy rally taking place in Charlottesville, constant terror attacks all across Europe, and a new racial controversy every week, most countries seem to remain constantly on a heightened state of racial anxiety and alert. Is there a solution, or is violence and more painful strife inevitable? The Bible and Racism examines what the Bible really has to say about racism. Does the Bible actually justify racism? (No!) Does the Bible justify race-based slavery? (Not at all!) Does the Bible advocate for the segregation of races on Sunday mornings (Quite the opposite!) Does the Bible justify servanthood and bond-servants? (Yes, it does - read inside to see how that is a good thing.) This book covers comprehensively every major issue of race and gives a plain-sense answer from the Word of God. You will learn how Confederate pastors twisted Scripture to justify their abhorrent and unbiblical theology. You will see how pastors and government leaders during the 1950s-1970s sought to explain their segregationist policies by abusing the clear teachings of Scripture. Ultimately, you will see that God created all humans (no matter their ethnicity, skin color, nor nationality) in His Image. You will see that Jesus prayed for His followers (Red, Yellow, Black and White) to all be unified and together in the deepest way possible. Finally, you will see that the church in Heaven is made up of every ethnicity, skin color and nationality all worshiping on level ground together, shoulder to shoulder, and you will come to understand that Jesus has called His church on earth to reflect the reality of the unified church in Heaven! My name is Chase, and I am a white, Southern-Baptist pastor from Birmingham, Alabama, USA - the epicenter of the Civil Rights Movement. Just a few years ago, I realized that maintaining a quietly neutral attitude about race and racism wasn't going to cut it anymore. As a pastor, I thought that I could help out with racial issues by being nice to everybody, cultivating friendships with people of other races, and decrying racism from time to time on social media. That was a naive strategy, and it is not nearly enough. Jesus, in His Word, calls believers to PURSUE peace and oneness, and that pursuit is what this book is about. Racial harmony is possible and racial unity is possible, but there are many false, but old and dearly held beliefs, that will have to be crushed under the hammer of God's Word in order to get to a place of real peace. Please join me and let's see What the Bible REALLY Says about Racism!

Explore the science of genetics, melanin and skin tone, affected by the history of the Tower of Babel and the origin of people groups around the world. Divisions Ethnic cleansing, genocide, “racial” conflicts have taken place from colonialism to Nazi Germany to modern day. We are a society, nation, and world in continued conflict. We are increasingly being identified and divided by designations of “racial” groups.

Solutions Education can teach, workshops can inform, laws can protect, but what is the defining answer to ending the notion of “racial” division?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book of hope; hope for the future and hope for the present. I have seen a cancer in American society grow over the years and I felt the need to address it in the most powerful manner possible, through God. Race relations and racism in my opinion are in a state of regression in the United States. I see and hear things as an American black these days that I never thought I would see and hear in my lifetime. I sense an uneasy calm between the races that does not need to be there, held in place only by the vague concept of political correctness. But the heart is still active and no one knows how it will act next. In addressing racism, in this brief work, I redefine it, explain why it is here and offer solutions for its eradication. I require a trust form the reader and a partnership. Self-less trust is one of the most fundamentally lacking elements in American society today and this is what I request from the reader. The inclination to discriminate because of race comes from a number of sources. I have identified pride, ignorance, fear, jealousy and hatred as some of the key motivations. I have sought to quell these negative emotions through the Bible and in solving these emotions, solve the actions they lead to, including racism. Next I seek to explain, through the Bible, how racism came into being and why it continues to be; then I discuss the victim and racism, what the victim experiences; next I seek to show, still through Bible scripture, how we can curb our worst natures through the Bible; lastly I show how solving racism can lead to solutions to other problems both here in America and in the world. To make this all happen I must have the readers trust and courage. Solving racism is an easy task. It takes only a shedding of self. Selfishness is the biggest obstacle to cooperation and unity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a rarely discussed fact of history that the premise of Darwinian evolution has been deeply rooted in the worst racist ideology since its inception. This significant book gives a thorough account of the effects of evolution on the history of the United States, including slavery and the Civil rights movement, and goes beyond to show the global harvest of death and tragedy that still finds its roots in Darwin's destructive writings. The tragic legacy of Darwin"s controversial speculations on evolution has led to terrible consequences taken to the deadliest extremes. One Race One Blood reveals the origins of these horrors, as well as the truth revealed in Scripture that God created only one race. You will discover: • Nazi Germany used evolutionary concepts to justify the extermination of "unfit" people groups such as Jews, Gypsies, and Slavs • The origins of people groups, the genetics of skin color, and the biblical truths on "interracial" marriage • Eye-opening discussion on racism and its roots in the hearts and minds of millions still today. Within these compelling pages, Dr. A. Charles Ware, president of Crossroads Bible College, and Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis examine the historical roots of racism that have permeated evolutionary thought, and the Bible's response to this disturbing issue. This is a crucial and timely study that profoundly addresses the Christian worldview regarding "race" from a compassionate and uniquely compelling perspective.

Book excerpt: Race, Racism, and the Biblical Narratives is a critical essay from Stony the Road We Trod: African American Biblical Interpretation written by the project's editor, Cain Hope Felder, now in a concise stand-alone book. In this important work, Felder clarifies the profound differences in racial attitudes in the biblical world and now. The book reveals the processes at work in both the New and Old Testaments that reflect ancient ambiguity about what we call race. Felder uncovers misuses of the biblical text (such as the so-called curse of Ham) in subsequent interpretation and shows how the Bible has been used to trivialize African contributions and demean and enslave Black people. Race, Racism, and the Biblical Narratives challenges scholars and church people alike to a deeper and more honest engagement with the biblical text.

Book excerpt: An astonishing and revelatory history that re-presents God as he was originally envisioned by ancient worshippers—with a distinctly male body, and with superhuman powers, earthly passions, and a penchant for the fantastic and monstrous. "[A] rollicking journey through every aspect of Yahweh’s body, from top to bottom (yes, that too) and from inside out ... Ms. Stavrakopoulou has almost too much fun.”—The Economist The scholarship of theology and religion teaches us that the God of the Bible was without a body, only revealing himself in the Old Testament in words mysteriously uttered through his prophets, and in the New Testament in the body of Christ. The portrayal of God as corporeal and masculine is seen as merely metaphorical, figurative, or poetic. But, in this revelatory study, Francesca Stavrakopoulou presents a vividly corporeal image of God: a human-shaped deity who walks and talks and weeps and laughs, who eats, sleeps, feels, and breathes, and who is undeniably male. Here is a portrait—arrived at through the author's close examination of and research into the Bible—of a god in ancient myths and rituals who was a product of a particular society, at a particular time, made in the image of the people who lived then, shaped by their own circumstances and experience of the world. From head to toe—and every part of the body in between—this is a god of stunning surprise and complexity, one we have never encountered before.

This book was released on 2024-07-09 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Christian imagination of colonial discovery permeated the early modern world, but legal histories developed in very different ways depending on imperial jurisdictions. Indigenous Rights and the Legacies of the Bible: From Moses to Mabo explores the contradictions and ironies that emerged in the interactions between biblical warrants and colonial theories of Indigenous natural rights. The early debates in the Americas mutated in the British colonies with a range of different outcomes after the American Revolution, and tracking the history of biblical interpretation provides an illuminating pathway through these historical complexities. A ground-breaking legal judgment in the High Court of Australia, Mabo v. Queensland (1992), demonstrates the enduring legacies of debates over the previous five centuries. The case reveals that the Australian colonies are the only jurisdiction of the English common law tradition within which no treaties were made with the First Nations. Instead, there is a peculiar development of terra nullius ideology, which can be traced back to the historic influences of the book of Genesis in Puritan thought in the seventeenth century. Having identified both similarities and differences between various colonial arguments, and their overt dependence on early modern theological reasoning, Mark G. Brett examines the paradoxical permutations of imperial and anti-imperial motifs in the biblical texts themselves. Concepts of rights shifted over the centuries from theological to secular frameworks, and more recently, from anthropocentric assumptions to ecologically embedded concepts of Indigenous rights and responsibilities. Bearing in mind the differences between ancient and modern notions of indigeneity, a fresh understanding of this history proves timely as settler colonial states reflect on the implications of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007). Brett's illuminating insights in this detailed study are particularly relevant for the four states which initially voted against the Declaration: the USA, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.

Book excerpt: "RACISM," the most hated word of our time; but it need not be so. Contrary to what the Judeo-Christian churches teach, the Bible is primarily about race. "Racism is NOT a Bad Word" takes you through a Bible study revealing the racist character of God. Did you know that the Bible traces the history of one family (race)? Did you know that God's own appellation is a genealogical name? Did you know the Bible promotes the segregation of the races? Did you know the Bible forbids interracial marriages? Did you know the Bible says there is a time to hate? These concepts are considered "disturbing" today; and "politically incorrect." Have we all been lied to about the nature of race and race relations?"
