"Through biblical scholarship and careful research, Welch highlights the role of Africans and Africa in God's unfolding work throughout Scripture. I highly recommend this book. --Dr Joshua Bogunjoko, International Director, SIM (Serving In Mission) A comprehensive survey of the numerous, but often overlooked, references to Africans and to Africa in the Old and the New Testament, of special interest to both Christians and non-Christians on the African continent. --Dr Edwin Yamauchi, author, Africa and the Bible, editor, Africa and Africans in Antiquity This wonderful book provides the foundation on which Africa continued to shape Christian thought during the first millennium. --The Most Rev Dr Mouneer Hanna Anis, Bishop, Anglican Diocese of Egypt with North Africa and the Horn of Africa An inspiring, eye-opening, and stimulating book for this time when Christianity is the fastest growing religion in Africa. --Dr Daniel Bourdann�, General Secretary, International Fellowship of Evangelical Students Welch meticulously explores the evidence for what can truly be considered African in the Bible and what cannot. Without being overly Afrocentric, he shows Africa is an integral part of the biblical narrative. Africans and the West both need to hear that Christianity is not just the ""white man's religion"", but the truth that spans cultures, races, colour, geography, and prejudices. -- Rev Dr Joel Elowsky, Researcher, Center for Early African Christianity at Yale University Energizing and empowering . . . The many years Welch spent reading the Bible with Africans who love the Scriptures have yielded this timely document. It adds fresh impetus to what God is already doing in his global mission through the African people. --Mutua Mahiaini, International President, The Navigators"
