Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How old is prejudice against black people? Were the racist attitudes that fueled the Atlantic slave trade firmly in place 700 years before the European discovery of sub-Saharan Africa? In this groundbreaking book, David Goldenberg seeks to discover how dark-skinned peoples, especially black Africans, were portrayed in the Bible and by those who interpreted the Bible--Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Unprecedented in rigor and breadth, his investigation covers a 1,500-year period, from ancient Israel (around 800 B.C.E.) to the eighth century C.E., after the birth of Islam. By tracing the development of anti-Black sentiment during this time, Goldenberg uncovers views about race, color, and slavery that took shape over the centuries--most centrally, the belief that the biblical Ham and his descendants, the black Africans, had been cursed by God with eternal slavery. Goldenberg begins by examining a host of references to black Africans in biblical and postbiblical Jewish literature. From there he moves the inquiry from Black as an ethnic group to black as color, and early Jewish attitudes toward dark skin color. He goes on to ask when the black African first became identified as slave in the Near East, and, in a powerful culmination, discusses the resounding influence of this identification on Jewish, Christian, and Islamic thinking, noting each tradition's exegetical treatment of pertinent biblical passages. Authoritative, fluidly written, and situated at a richly illuminating nexus of images, attitudes, and history, The Curse of Ham is sure to have a profound and lasting impact on the perennial debate over the roots of racism and slavery, and on the study of early Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Download or read book Quand la parole de Dieu visite l Afrique written by Paulin Poucouta and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2011 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les lectures africaines de la Bible soulèvent de nombreuses questions. Comment redonner vie au texte biblique pour qu'il soit réellement Parole de libération ? Comment éviter le danger du fondamentalisme qui guette non seulement les Eglises afro-chrétiennes mais aussi les grandes Eglises ? Où trouver des modèles d'interprétation africaine de la Bible ? Comment les femmes d'Afrique lisent-elles la Bible ? Paulin Poucouta essaie d'éclairer les questions ainsi posées et nous explique comment peut se lire la Bible dans une perspective africaine, de l'Egypte ancienne à l'Afrique d'aujourd'hui. L'auteur s'arrête longuement sur les Pères de l'Eglise qui ont vécu en Afrique du Nord, en particulier sur la figure de Saint Cyprien, l'évêque de Carthage au IIIe siècle. Le livre aborde en plusieurs étapes cette lecture plurielle de la Bible. D'abord en suivant le pèlerinage de la Bible sur la terre des pharaons, de l'Ancien Testament aux premières communautés chrétiennes et aux Eglises des premiers siècles. Traitant ensuite des problèmes de méthode et d'interprétation que rencontrent les biblistes africains, l'auteur aborde les événements et les données qui ont marqué le christianisme africain depuis le Concile Vatican II : l'évolution pastorale et liturgique, les deux synodes africains (1995 et 2009), la prise de parole croissante des femmes et leur propre lecture de la Bible.

Download or read book La Bible et l Afrique written by Hypolite Okamba and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2024-01-04 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Bible, « le livre des livres », est ici mise en rapport avec l’Afrique. Ses mystères, son autorité et son impact sur la vie humaine et sociétale sont révélés. Sa constitution a bénéficié d’un apport significatif africain. L’Afrique biblique est peinte à travers certains de ses grands faits et événements, notamment : la formation de la première colonie juive sur sa terre, la succession de ses patriarches, ses relations avec le peuple juif après son exode, ses célébrités, son hospitalité réservée aux patriarches juifs et à l’enfant Jésus, son enrichissement du peuple juif à sa sortie d’Egypte. Sont aussi abordés, la connaissance par les africains du Dieu de Noé et de ses descendants : ses ancêtres, le culte rendu à ce Dieu unique avant qu’ils ne sombrent dans l’idolâtrie, leur contribution à l’évangélisation du continent, à celle du monde, sans Bible et ensuite avec la Bible, dans sa forme actuelle. Enfin, une projection basée sur des temps passés et présents de l’Afrique est faite.

Download or read book Snakes People and Spirits Volume Two written by Robert Hazel and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-07 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume publication offers an in-depth analysis of ophidian symbolism in Eastern Africa, while setting the topic within its regional and historical context: namely, with regards to the rest of Africa, ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, the Greek world, ancient Palestine, Arabia, India, and medieval and pre-Christian Europe. Through the ages, most of those areas have connected with Eastern Africa in a broad sense, where ophidian symbolism was as “rampant” and far-reaching, if not more so, as anywhere else on the continent, and perhaps in past civilisations. Much as in the wider context, snakes were held to be long-lived, closely related to holes, caverns, trees, and water, life and death, and credited with a liking for milk. Even though ophidian symbolism has always been developed out of the outstanding biological and ethological features of snakes, the process of symbolisation, which plays a crucial role in the elaboration of cultural systems and the shaping of human experience, was inevitably at work. This second volume focuses on southern Abyssinia, an area of Eastern Africa latu senso where the connection between snakes and paramount religious leaders was especially far-reaching. Their clans were said to be the outcome of sexual encounters between a young woman and an ophidian. These leaders bred and fed snakes. Some of them buried dead snakes in their compounds. Their curse was likened to the bite of a deadly serpent. This volume is devoted to a few communities of southern Abyssinia, notably the Oromo, an important group that has fascinated European travellers, missionaries, and social science specialists over a period of 150 years. The rich Oromo ethnographic record lends itself to full-circle analysis. This volume represents a significant contribution to the study of the mysterious “snake priests” of the Oromo, Hoor, Konso, and Burji peoples. In Eastern Africa, the meanings attributed to snakes were multifaceted and paradoxical. Overall, the two volumes of this publication show that African snake symbolism broadly echoed the diverse representations of ancient civilisations. The widely acknowledged assimilation of snakes to death and Evil is therefore unrepresentative, both historically and culturally.
