 The Africans Who Wrote the Bible
The Africans Who Wrote the Bible is expertly researched and presented. It is a great tool for understanding the origin of bible concepts and theory. I am still digesting the information provided by Dr. Darkwah - it's overwhelming. This research has answered questions that I could not ask as a child without punishment because of the 'believe without question' doctrine in church. As a 63 year old black woman who grew up in the United States, I welcome a well researched explanation of the bible and our beginning . I accept the fact that the Bible was altered to pacify the whims of Europeans. Still digesting the strength of Dr. Darkwah's research due to early teachings but I accept his findings. Within my heart know that his research provides truth for all of us seeking historical knowledge of the bible and regarding the rich past of our ancestors. I strongly recommend this book for all looking for truth regarding our rich black heritage. I would rate this work at 10 stars if they would allow it. Thank you Dr. Darkwah!

 Just because it isn't European doesn't mean that it's African
The Bible's origins (for the most part) comes from the Middle East, primarily Asia Minor. If you take the text LITERALLY, you recognize that the Israelites (the word "Jews" literally means someone from the Tribe of Judah) were a Semitic people of Syrian origins. The Bible also makes it clear that some of the narrative takes place in Egypt as well. It is mainly a tale involving people of color. But the people of color are brown, not black.
I do not doubt the universality of the stories. Many similar tales come from Mesopotamian literature as well as the Greek myths. And given that Adam and Eve came FAR more likely from Kenya that Iraq, close ties to parts of Africa are inevitable. But I find a hard time buying the book's central premise.
I feel empowered!
I just got through kissing the book, and I'm, only, in the Introduction!!!!
I've skimmed through it, and I'm just starting to read it, in depth. Dr. Darkwah's book is awe-inspiring. If you're black and you never got into the Bible, it makes you want to study the Bible. I've spent many a night skimming the book and checking references, in the Bible. I love this book. I'm going to let everyone, in my family, read this book. One of the gems of the book is the fact that it lists out such things, as the physical description of Jesus Christ. I knew, from an earlier Bible, that Jesus "skin was like onyx and his hair was wooly" but, like Dr. Darkwah points out, those descriptions have been changed by people who aren't black for Revised editions, of the Bible. The book makes you think. For instance, Eden, on Earth, is literally, in Africa. The description of the rivers of Eden describe the Tigris, Euphrates, and the Nile Rivers, all in Africa. We know from the Lucy skeleton and genetic studies that the first man on Earth was born in Africa. It's just amazing that it's confirmed, in the Bible. That's just one gem from the book. There are many others. I'm so excited. Thank you Dr. Darkwah.
Revealing
This is a fantastic account of facts and an eye opener.It is a comprehensive thesis revealing who really wrote the Bible. It should be a must read for all those who seek the truth.
One of the best books ever published!
This is a very powerful, wonderful book. I give nothing but applause to the author. The book is well written and very informative. (I only wish the author would not repeat himself so much. This becomes very annoying) However, despite that minor distraction, the information is essential and should be considered required reading for every man, woman, child, boy, muslim, jew and christian in America.
