Influence of Early Africentrism on Judaism

This book examines 'The Influence of Early Africentrism on Judaism: Basis for African Christianity.' The author suggests that exploring the implications of Early Africentrism on Judaism reveals the authenticity of African Christianity in contemporary Africa. These investigations and implications aim to decolonize Christianity and Christian theology from Western colonization and domination in Africa. Moreover, the author proposes that Africa (Egypt) served as the preparatory arena for the worldview and culture of the Ancient Israelites. The examination indicates that both Ancient Africans and Ancient Israelites played roles in the Redemptive Drama. Additionally, the author assesses the 'Africanization of Ancient Israelites' Nationality,' suggesting that their four hundred and thirty years in Egypt (Africa) implies an African nationality. Furthermore, the author highlights Africentric-Communalism in the wilderness between the Ancient Israelites (African-Jews) and the sympathizing Africans (the mixed multitudes) during their Exodus (Exodus 12:38). The text also considers the potential for unifying African and Jewish.
