In Black and White: A King James Bible Word Study

4.9/5 (22715 ratings)

Description:I created this book to learn what the words "black" and "white" mean, where they came from, and how they're used in the Bible, since some racism is biblically based. The King James Bible has been with us since 1611, more than 400 years. The first Puritans landed in North America in 1620. They didn't use the KJV, but the English Bible and English colonialism are historical twins. Many Southern slave-owners, both before and after 1776, also used the Bible to defend slavery.What I learned during my biblical and etymological research wasn't encouraging, for the most part. The word "black" has long been associated with darkness, both physical and spiritual. "White" is likewise associated with physical and spiritual light, and the Bible tells us that "God is light" (1 John 1:5). I'm "white," but that fact doesn't make me inherently good. I can't begin to understand what it's like for "black" people to see themselves as, or be treated as, evil in human form either.I did find some good things, but I'll share only three. First, *bhel-, the Proto-Indo-European root of the English word "black," meant "shining white"; it's the source of words like blanch, bleach, and blond. Second, Jesus Christ was likely born at night (Luke 2:8-12). Finally, Lucius (whose name means "white") and Niger (whose name means "black") ministered together at the church in Antioch (Acts 13:1). If they worked together, then why can't we?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
