Product Description
Afrocentric interpretations of history often point to slavery, lynchings, and the like as proof that Christianity is oppressive. But Glenn Usry and Craig Keener contend that Christianity can be Afrocentric, and show that racism is not inherent in the true faith.
Reader ReviewsONE MISLEAD READER WRITES When we look way way back into Christian history we usually look to the mid-east and the missionary journeys of Paul into Turkey and Greece, etc. BUT few realize the mighty missionary work in Africa the first 10-15 years after Christ's resurrection. Usry and Keener give us an eye-opening look at the fact that Christianity was established in Africa ....... WRONG!! Usry will steer you into fiction. He attempts to make his writing appear to BE factual. He sights other writingS which are dubious at best. He does not use complete sentences in many areas and goes off into fantasy land. BEWARE AND WARNED! Usry is using every trick in the book to sell a book. RUN!!! DO NOT WALK AWAY FROM THIS BOOK! IF YOU WANT TO READ A BOOK...CONCENTRATE ON JESUS!! READ YOUR BIBLE!!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO READ THIS BOOK!
