Descripción

Who brought Jesus to the shores of Africa? Was it a dubious attempt by Europeans to uproot the religious identity of the locals or was it God's plan to solidify the truth of salvation through the express writings of the Bible?  Did the old African prophets reject the Bible or were they joyfully anticipating its not so glorious arrival?

Africa & The Bible PART 1 - Is The Bible Relevant to Africans (Season 2: Episode 1)

According to the Scielo Organization of SA: "Africa and Africans were mentioned more than 1 417 times in the entire Bible. Of this, Egypt (Mitsrayim) was mentioned more than 740 times in the Old Testament (Adamo 2005:26-36). In the Pentateuch, references to the words Egypt and Egyptians occur more than 288 times. Egypt and Egyptians appear about 152 times in the book of the Twelve. It also appears in Isa (40 times), in Jeremiah (61 times), in Ezekiel (47 times) and Daniel (4 times). Egypt and Egyptians as well as Cush and Cushites were always mentioned together in the Old Testament, because they both belong to the African nation. Egypt belonged to the northern part of Africa and to a region of the Ancient Near East. This term indisputably refers to Egypt as a country in Africa and also to the people of Egypt in Africa. Ancient Egypt and Egyptians were Africans and, in fact, black Africans and not Europe and Europeans as some have alleged.
