Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the start of the church, from the beginning of creation, Blacks and dark-skinned people have been involved in its spiritual, physical, theological, and doctrinal development. Who were and are the people involved in its development, and in what ways did they contribute? If Africans were involved in the Church’s development from the beginning, why is Africa not mentioned in the Bible? Blacks in the Annals of Church History examines the roles that Blacks and dark-skinned people played in the formation, development, and growth of the Church—both the church in the wilderness and that birthed by Jesus Christ of Nazareth when His side was pierced and blood and water flowed from Him. From Adam and Eve through the life of Jesus and on into modern times, black and dark-skinned people have formed the foundation of the church, and the vital parts they have played should be recognized. Uplifting and informative, this Bible study explores the contributions of black and dark-skinned people to the Church over the course of its history.

Download or read book Black Church Beginnings written by Henry H. Mitchell and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2004-10-04 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Church Beginnings provides an intimate look at the struggles of African Americans to establish spiritual communities in the harsh world of slavery in the American colonies. Written by one of today's foremost experts on African American religion, this book traces the growth of the black church from its start in the mid-1700s to the end of the nineteenth century.As Henry Mitchell shows, the first African American churches didn't just organize; they labored hard, long, and sacrificially to form a meaningful, independent faith. Mitchell insightfully takes readers inside this process of development. He candidly examines the challenge of finding adequately trained pastors for new local congregations, confrontations resulting from internal class structure in big city churches, and obstacles posed by emerging denominationalism.Original in its subject matter and singular in its analysis, Mitchell's Black Church Beginnings makes a major contribution to the study of American church history.

Download or read book Liberating Black Church History written by Juan M. Floyd-Thomas and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2014-05-20 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No serious scholar in biblical studies today can introduce students to his or her field without taking into account the contributions of African American scholarship. The long traditions of biblical interpretation in the Black Church, and the innovative research and writing performed by African American scholars in recent years are now essential components of a critical study of the Bible. Up to now, knowing how best to introduce the fruits of African American biblical scholarship to students has been difficult. Good resources exist, yet too often they are not written with the needs of introductory students in mind. This book meets that need by providing an overview of the most important developments in African American approaches to biblical scholarship. It offers insight into the particular ways that African American scholarship has shaped the world of biblical study.

Download or read book The History of the Negro Church written by Carter Godwin Woodson and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-06 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carter Godwin Woodson (December 19, 1875 - April 3, 1950) was an American historian, author, journalist and the founder of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. He was one of the first scholars to study African-American history. A founder of The Journal of Negro History in 1916, Woodson has been cited as the "father of black history". In February 1926 he launched the celebration of "Negro History Week", the precursor of Black History Month. Born in Virginia, the son of former slaves, Woodson had to put off schooling while he worked in the coal mines of West Virginia. He made it to Berea College, becoming a teacher and school administrator. He gained graduate degrees at the University of Chicago and was the second African American to obtain a PhD degree from Harvard University. Most of his academic career was spent at Howard University in Washington, D.C., where Woodson eventually served as the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. ...The time that schools have set aside each year to focus on African-American history is Woodson's most visible legacy. His determination to further the recognition of the Negro in American and world history, however, inspired countless other scholars. Woodson remained focused on his work throughout his life. Many see him as a man of vision and understanding. Although Woodson was among the ranks of the educated few, he did not feel particularly sentimental about elite educational institutions. The Association and journal that he started are still operating, and both have earned intellectual respect. Woodson's other far-reaching activities included the founding in 1920 of the Associated Publishers, the oldest African-American publishing company in the United States. This enabled publication of books concerning blacks that might not have been supported in the rest of the market. He founded Negro History Week in 1926 (now known as Black History Month). He created the Negro History Bulletin, developed for teachers in elementary and high school grades, and published continuously since 1937. Woodson also influenced the Association's direction and subsidizing of research in African-American history. He wrote numerous articles, monographs and books on Blacks. The Negro in Our History reached its 11th edition in 1966, when it had sold more than 90,000 copies. Dorothy Porter Wesley recalled: "Woodson would wrap up his publications, take them to the post office and have dinner at the YMCA. He would teasingly decline her dinner invitations saying, 'No, you are trying to marry me off. I am married to my work'". Woodson's most cherished ambition, a six-volume Encyclopedia Africana, was incomplete at the time of his death. (wikipedia.org)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With roots stretching to before the Civil War, the National Convocation of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) today serves as the connection between African Americans and the Stone-Campbell Movement.
