Description Beyond Roots II is the logical second step in the cultural literary pilgrimage of both Rev.

Mc Kissic and Dr.

Evans.

As two bibliocentric evangelical African American Pastors, they seek to flush out the errors in the biblical interpretations of the history of the Black race in a scholarly and pragmatic way.

Mc Kissic and Evans are determined to continue their wrestling until they can penetrate the truth about a significant Black presence in the Bible, not only in the African American community, but for the benefit of the Christian church at large.

In this collaborative work, Mc Kissic and Evans fill in the gaps between their works to show why a proper biblical view of the Black race is essential if Black people are to recognize, understand and appreciate their position in God's eternal program.

This work further authenticates the Black presence in Scripture through the eyes of Black and White biblical scholars while pointing to the racial abuse of historically accepted biblical scholarship.

In addition, they reveal the continuing Black presence in the development of the church and theology through the leadership of the African church fathers and beyond.

However, this work is designed not only to unfold the divine saga of the Black race in Scripture, but to make an analysis of how people must use that knowledge to address the contemporary crisis that African Americans currently face.

It is designed to challenge Black and White Christians alike to root their racial heritage and pride in Scripture if they are to avoid the extremes of both racial elitism and racial inferiority.

Is it true that Moses, Solomon, the Queen of Sheba and Jesus were of Black lineage?There are some startling.
