Book Synopsis Who Are My People? by : Emmanuel Katongole
Download or read book Who Are My People? written by Emmanuel Katongole and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2022-05-01 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who Are My People? explores the complex relationship between identity, violence, and Christianity in Africa. In Who Are My People?, Emmanuel Katongole examines what it means to be both an African and a Christian in a continent that is often riddled with violence. The driving assumption behind the investigation is that the recurring forms of violence in Africa reflect an ongoing crisis of belonging. Katongole traces the crisis through three key markers of identity: ethnicity, religion, and land. He highlights the unique modernity of the crisis of belonging and reveals that its manifestations of ethnic, religious, and ecological violence are not three separate forms of violence but rather modalities of the same crisis. This investigation shows that Christianity can generate and nurture alternative forms of community, nonviolent agency, and ecological possibilities. The book is divided into two parts. Part One deals with the philosophical and theological issues related to the question of African identity. Part Two includes three chapters, each of which engages a form of violence, locating it within the broader story of modern sub-Saharan Africa. Each chapter includes stories of Christian individuals and communities who not only resist violence but are determined to heal its wounds and the burden of history shaped by Africa’s unique modernity. In doing so, they invent new forms of identity, new communities, and a new relationship with the land. This engaging, interdisciplinary study, combining philosophical analysis and theological exploration, along with theoretical argument and practical resources, will interest scholars and students of theology, peace studies, and African studies.
Book Synopsis Your People Shall Be My People by : Don Finto
Download or read book Your People Shall Be My People written by Don Finto and published by Gospel Light Publications. This book was released on 2001-02-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God" (Ruth 1:16). Like Ruth in the Old Testament, every Gentile believer has come out of the land of famine and into the spiritual realm of abundance in the name of Jesus. But unlike Ruth, we have turned our backs on the Jewish people, the relatives of the Messiah. We need to confess personally and corporately on behalf of the Church for centuries of persecution of the Jewish people, looking in these days for every opportunity to bless and not curse them. Once again, Israel and her people are center stage at a crucial moment in world history, and this book shows why the Church must effect reconciliation and why our prayers are vital in this hour. If we will make the same covenent pledge to Israel that Ruth made to Naomi, the Church will never be the same!
Book Synopsis You Are My People by : Louis Stulman
Download or read book You Are My People written by Louis Stulman and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on recent developments in biblical studies, this book introduces the prophetic literature of the Old Testament against the background of today's postmodern context and crisis of meaning. Pulsating with anxiety over the empire--Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian--the prophet corpus is a disturbing cultural expression of lament and chaos. Danger, disjunction, and disaster bubble beneath the surface of virtually every prophetic text. Sometimes in denial, sometimes in despair, and sometimes in defiance, the readers of this literature find themselves living at the edge of time, immediately before, during, or after the collapse of longstanding symbolic, cultural, and geo-political structures. These written prophecies not only reflect the social location of trauma, but are also a complex response. More specifically, prophetic texts are thick meaning-making maps, tapestries of hope that help at-risk communities survive.
Book Synopsis Help Me to Find My People by : Heather Andrea Williams
Download or read book Help Me to Find My People written by Heather Andrea Williams and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Civil War, African Americans placed poignant "information wanted" advertisements in newspapers, searching for missing family members. Inspired by the power of these ads, Heather Andrea Williams uses slave narratives, letters, interviews, public records, and diaries to guide readers back to devastating moments of family separation during slavery when people were sold away from parents, siblings, spouses, and children. Williams explores the heartbreaking stories of separation and the long, usually unsuccessful journeys toward reunification. Examining the interior lives of the enslaved and freedpeople as they tried to come to terms with great loss, Williams grounds their grief, fear, anger, longing, frustration, and hope in the history of American slavery and the domestic slave trade. Williams follows those who were separated, chronicles their searches, and documents the rare experience of reunion. She also explores the sympathy, indifference, hostility, or empathy expressed by whites about sundered black families. Williams shows how searches for family members in the post-Civil War era continue to reverberate in African American culture in the ongoing search for family history and connection across generations.

Book Synopsis "Come Out My People!" by : Wes Howard-Brook
Download or read book "Come Out My People!" written by Wes Howard-Brook and published by Orbis Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling view of two competing religious visions---one of "creation" and the other of "empire"---that run throughout the Bible. "A remarkable offering for those who care about the interface of power and faith with all the threats and seductions that go with it. . . As I read, I felt overwhelmed, both by the mass of data and by the cunning of interpretation. I could not put it down, and expect to continue to be instructed by it.---Walter Brueggemann "Howard-Brook undertakes what few dare anymore: an introductory primer for the whole Bible...This book invites disciples to `connect the dots', in order to recover our ancient, anti-imperial identity, and to embrace a radical faith and practice that are personal and politica."---Ched Myers "Howard-Brook illuminates how ancient empires exercised control and manipulation of people not simply by political and military means, but also through the religion of empire. Throughout he makes clear that the core message of the God of creation is to call people out of empire, to refuse to cooperate with the forces of destruction and domination today."---Richard Horsley "Will become a classic for communities that seek first to receive the gracious gift of God's alternative future to Empire."---Jarrod McKenna "If we who sojourn in America are to be a community that can both name and resist the lure of Empire, we need a story more powerful than the story called America. Wes Howard-Brook knows than the Bible tells such a story. May its story be ours as we're set free from our imperial imaginations to dream with our Creator of a new world here and now."---Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove
Book Synopsis I Hear My People Singing by : Kathryn Watterson
Download or read book I Hear My People Singing written by Kathryn Watterson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-24 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I Hear My People Singing shines light on a historic Black neighborhood in the heart of Princeton, New Jersey. Some 50 first-person accounts, drawn from an oral history collaboration of African American residents, Princeton undergraduates, and their professor, Kathryn Watterson, detail life in this northern Jim Crow town for the past three centuries. Their stories reveal how the community's roots are intertwined with the enslaved people who were key to building the town and a university whose first nine presidents were slave owners. Chapter introductions provide context, as does the foreword by scholar, theologian, and activist Cornel West. Alive with photographs, I Hear My People Singing offers a narrative of inspiring Black experience that contributes to and illuminates the history of the United States and the nation's conversations on race."--Back cover.
Book Synopsis Let My People Go by : Patricia C. McKissack
Download or read book Let My People Go written by Patricia C. McKissack and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Come join me as I take you back to Charleston, South Carolina, to my father's forge in the early 1800's. Sit with me on the woodpile as he tells a tale of faith, hope, or love." In this extraordinary collection, Charlotte Jefferies and her father Price, a former slave, introduce us to twelve best loved Bible tales, from Genesis to Daniel, and reveal their significance in the lives of African Americans--and indeed of all oppressed peoples. When Charlotte wants to understand the cruel injustices of her time, she turns to her father. Does the powerful slaveholder, Mr. Sam Riley, who seems to own all that surrounds them, also own the sun and moon? she wonders. Price's answer is to tell the story of Creation. How can God allow an evil like slavery to exist? she asks. Price responds by telling the story of the Hebrews' Exodus -- and shows Charlotte that someday their people, too, will be free. With exquisite clarity, Patricia and Fredrick McKissack and James Ransome -- a Newbery Honor winner and all Coretta Scott King Award winners -- brilliantly illuminate the parallels between the stories of the Jews and African-American history. Let My People Go is a triumphant celebration of both the human spirit and the enduring power of story as a source of strength. Our hope is that this book will be like a lighthouse that can guide young readers through good times and bad....The ideas that these ancient stories hold are not for one people, at one time, in one place. They are for all of us, for all times, everywhere. --from the Authors' Note to Let My People Go

Book Synopsis Go Tell My People Who They Are! the True Biblical Identity of Black People by : Janice Rozett Swinton
Download or read book Go Tell My People Who They Are! the True Biblical Identity of Black People written by Janice Rozett Swinton and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Superiority of any race is not a biblical construct; it is a human one – out of one man came every race – Acts 17:26 states, “And He made from one [common origin, one source, one blood] all nations of men to settle on the face of the earth, having definitely determined [their] allotted periods of time and the fixed boundaries of their habitation (their settlements, lands, and abodes) , and this “one common origin and source” is Kushitic or Cushitic. We are all descendents from Adam and Eve, made in the image of God (I Corinthians 14:45). It is from this root that all the peoples of the world developed. It was God who placed each of Noah's sons, Ham, Shem and Japheth's in boundaries that he had established for their habitation, Ham and Shem occupying what we call today Africa and Arabia, and Japheth in the far North. It is God who also allotted each their own periods to dominate and rule in the earth, their very definitive allotment of times, Ham, Shem and now Japheth. I will put forth in this work evidence, biblically, archaeologically, anthropologically, scientific genetic DNA evidence that will clearly delineate the pre-flood inhabitants, and each of the nations of people that came forth after the flood with Noah's sons, Ham, Shem and Japheth; as well as explore the root of racism based on skin color and the ancient biblical landscape and its peoples. We will explore the ancient landscape of Mesopotamia looking at Sumer and Shinar, the dispersion of the people at the Tower and the development of the different tongues and races; then we will look at Japheth's sons and the Age of Discovery, the development of European Imperialism and its resultant racist agenda that led to the African slave trade, the colonization of Africa and the atrocities and horrors that has led to racism based on black skin and religion resulting in the Holocaust. We will explore the biblical truth of the black nations through the lens of God, not man. What does God say about the Ethiopian who He declared could not change his skin color; this truth as the prophet Jeremiah brought forth will also be revealed. Just who are the Kushitic peoples and how did they become the root of all the races. How did Kush get in the Garden of Eden and what does Kush have to do with the development of Egypt, Ethiopia and Libya. This work will explore Egypt and Israel's ancient history and relationship; it will look at the true ethnicity of the Ancient Israelites, the Canaanites, and the Semites, Ethiopians, Assyrians, the Babylonians and the Egyptians, and the prophetic word for them in these last days. Satan is the father and the source for lies and deception, and this work will look at the deep deception and lies that have been put forth to hide the true identity of Ham's black sons and Shem's brown ones. It is a timely look at Egypt, Ethiopia, Libya, Tunisia, Yemen, Arabia, and all the rumbling and shakings that are now gripping what we know as the Ancient Biblical Landscape of the Torah, and this impacts its descendents dispersed around the world in the African Diaspora. The truth has been concealed for centuries but God is bringing the true revelation in this book. It is a must read for every human being living today who wants to know the truth and be set free as only God's truth can do.
