There are many unique needs that need to be addressed in this new millennium. The Black Heritage Bible is prepared to handle a very critical one. The Holy Bible by far is the most read book in the world history. It is the most printed book since Gutenberg invented the press. It is many different types of quality literature rolled into one. Above all, is accepted as the divine word of God. The reading of it is considered necessary to leading and living a quality life.
Through the years it has become more connected to those individuals of European and Jewish origin. It has easily connected with those of white skin. Whatever the reasons, whether languages or geographical areas that championed the printing and translating, the migration of this perception had made it poorly inclusive. Those who are not in the circle of Jews and Europeans could find it hard to accept and relate to.
More intentionally, there have been lies that have sought for centuries to portray people of color as cursed, evil, with this book being the source to prove it. Needless to say, this has negatively redefined the trajectory of darker skinned races. Generations of positive self images have at best been obliterated. The truth is there are notable people of color specifically written about in the bible. The Black Heritage Bible seeks to share with not just with people of color, but the entire world the facts as they relate to race in the bible.
As the world becomes more globally centric and thus more diverse, the Black Heritage Bibles become even more important. Contrary to what many may believe, the foundation of this book is still the same. It has some of the standard features that most readers expect to see. For example, the quotations of Jesus Christ are printed in red.
The first part book contains the Old Testament letters which start with Genesis and ends with Malachi. Afterwards the twenty seven New Testament books are included. The standard King James language is used. Also included is a chronological summary of events between the old and new testaments.
The bibles take great steps to provide insight on people of color. These truths are placed within to enhance the learning experience. This is a plus for readers of all ages. This is the case study approach that is age friendly.
There are additional books of lessons available separately. These books of instruction further stretch the learning experience. Very notable biblical figures like Moses, Paul, and Jesus have their connections with people of color described. Cities and events are also highlighted.
The extension of the Black Heritage Bible is enabling men and women of all faiths and races to get a clearer view of it the way it was intended. And as these are shared with the youth today, this global village will become closer and more united.
