	by Edwin M. Yamauchi Sales Rank: 804377	~~List Price: $24.99~~ $18.99 At Amazon on 5-30-2008.

*Features* Cover Type: Paperback with 304 pages Published by: Baker Academic; Paperback Ed edition July 1, 2006 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 0801031192 ISBN 13 Number: 978-0801031199 Book Dimensions: 8.6 x 6 x 0.8 inches Weighs: 1 pounds *Product Description* The "curse of Ham" has been used to legitimize slavery. Both Ethiopians and Arabians claim the queen of Sheba. Could Moses and Jesus have been black? Edwin Yamauchi explores the historical and archaeological background of biblical texts that refer to Africa and traces the results of past interpretations and misinterpretations. He covers such topics as the curse of Ham's son Canaan, Moses' Cushite wife, Simon the Cyrene, and afrocentric biblical interpretation. Along the way, he dispels myths, interacts with current theories, and provides readers with sound judgments as to what the Bible does and does not say. Readers interested in the connections between Africa and the Bible will enjoy this insightful book. More then eighty photos, maps, and charts are included. *About The Author* Edwin M. Yamauchi (Ph.D., Brandeis University) is professor of history emeritus at Miami University, Ohio. He is the author or editor of numerous books, including Persia and the Bible, Greece and Babylon, The Archaeology of New Testament Cities in Asia Minor, Harper's World of the New Testament, and Africa and Africans in Antiquity. A co-edited work, Peoples of the Old Testament World, won a Biblical Archaeological Society Award. *Reader Reviews* This review is from: Africa and the Bible (Hardcover) This is yet another good book which shatters the many sordid lies and misrepresentations of "afrocentrism". Mary Lefkowitz also documents the same things quite well in her books. I highly recommend reading her books to understand the truth about this bizarre social disease called afrocentrism.
