No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted, in any form, or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without the prior permission of the Levtzion Center and the author The Fifth Annual Levtzion Lecture was delivered at the Hebrew University, 30 April 2009 Abstract This paper provides a succinct overview of the relationships between Ethiopia – a land in which Christianity first encountered Islam, and where Judaism was already present – and the Middle East, the cradle of these religions. The paper focuses on the dialectic between historic political and strategic needs, interests and concrete options on one hand, and the reservoir of abstract notions bequeathed by these ancient religions, on the other. The main thesis is that Islam, Christianity and Judaism, far from providing monolithic messages, harbored a wide range of prescriptions for moderates and fanatics alike. Analyzing the multi- facetted legacies by which Ethiopians and their Middle Eastern neighbors conceptualized each other, the paper discusses several modern political developments and demonstrates how they were inspired by these religious interpretations and proclivities.

    A STUDY OF THE PERCEIVED CAUSES OF SCHISM IN SOME ETHIOPIAN-TYPE CHURCHES IN THE CAPE AND TRANSVAAL, 1884-1925 by JOAN ANNE MILLARD submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF THEOLOGY in the subject CHURCH HISTORY at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA PROMOTER: PROFESSOR GJ PILLAY JUNE 1995 ***************** I declare that A study of the perceived causes of some Ethiopian­ type churches in the Cape and Transvaal 1884-1925 is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. Joan A Millard SUMMARY During the period 1884-1925 Ethiopian-type schisms from mission churches occurred for a number of reasons. Generalisations of these reasons have been made by numerous authors. By generalising the causes of schism the particular reasons why each independent church 1eader 1eft the mission church are ignored. The thesis shows how each schism was due to unique circumstances in the mission church as well as to factors, for example, the personal feelings of the independent church leader. In each case there was a point of no return when the founder of the independent church no longer felt he could accept the status quo. There were two government commissions that investigated the independent or "separatist" churches during these years - the South African Native Affairs Commission of 1903-1905 and the 1925 South African Native Affairs Commission which investigated the "Separatist Churches". The testimony of the white government officials and missionaries and the black church leaders has been compared with the findings in the reports.

  • The Voice of Revelation in the Conversation of Mankind
    The Voice of Revelation in the Conversation of Mankind Steven D. Ealy Senior Liberty Fund Fellow Psalm 19 begins, “The heavens declare the glory of God, the sky proclaims His handiwork.”1 These words may do a number of things—they may convey their author’s sense of awe and wonder, they may portray the beauty and unlimited horizons of the night sky—but chief among the various things these few words do is make an epistemological claim: There is a God, and we can (at least in part) know something about him. There is a long tradition that sees “the creation” as a general revelation to all of mankind.2 Isaac Newton’s belief that his research confirmed the existence of God is a reflection of this view: “Whence arises all that order and beauty which we see in the world? . Does it not appear from phenomena that there is a being incorporeal, living, intelligent?”3 Such revelation should be accessible to all simultaneously, uneducated as well as educated, regardless of station in life or cultural history, and therefore should provide a foundation for the unity of mankind. This might indeed be the case if all men saw “the Creation” when they looked at the 1 Psalm 19: 1. Unless otherwise noted, all Old Testament quotations are from the Jewish Publication Society TANAKH translation as printed in The Jewish Study Bible (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2004). Paul makes a similar but stronger claim: “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse” (Romans 1: 20).

  • Zephaniah 1:1-6
    Zephaniah 1:1-6 Zephaniah 1:1 – “The word of the Lord that came to Zephaniah the son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.” 1. The long genealogy in the superscription of a prophet is unusual. a. Jeremiah, a contemporary of Zephaniah, is similar. It dates to the 13th year of King Josiah’s reign, which would be 627-626 BC: “The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.” – Jeremiah 1:1-2 2. “Hezekiah most likely is the great King Hezekiah, because: a. It is normal to be known by your father’s name, not the name of your great-great- grandfather four generations earlier. The most likely exception is that Zephaniah’s Gr- gr-grandfather was still remembered and his name was still known in Zephaniah’s day. b. The reason Hezekiah is not called “King Hezekiah” would be because Josiah is recognized as in the very same sentence as “king of Judah”. In fact, even King Amon which is clearly a reference to the King Amon of Judah is not identified as “king of Judah” but merely listed as the father of Josiah. 3. Listing the prophet’s name and clear identification helps establish authority and accountability for the prophet and the words of the prophet.

  • Bible Blacks June 2000
    1 Bible Blacks June 2000 Ham saw his father’s nakedness. Gen 9 ; 22. He didn’t laugh. But Noah cursed Canaan, not Ham. Leviticus 18 ; 8. Leviticus 20 ; 11, Deut 27 ; 20 These 3 verses tell us what Ham saw was Canaan with Ham’s mother, Canaan’s grandmother. Shem and Japeth covered their mother. So Ham being the father of the black race, had nothing to do with that occasion. Joseph married Asenath, daughter of the priest of On, Potipherah. He was an Egyptian. So Joseph’s 2 sons were mixed race. Black and Semitic. Gen 41 ; 50 Manasseh, and Ephraim. Gen 41 ; 51, 52 Moses wife was Zipporah, who was the daughter of Reuel, Jethro, the Midianite. Ex 2 ; 21 So Zipporah was a black woman. So Moses children were mixed race, also. Num 12 ; 1 Miriam spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman he had married. So I guess Moses had 2 wives. A Midianite, and an Ethiopian. I guessed wrong. The translators used the word ‘Ethiopian’ for any black person. Instead of saying colored, or black, or a person of color, or a dark skin, they put in ‘Ethiopian. Isn’t that just awful !!!!!! Besides, the modern translators have not corrected the mistake. And it is a mistake. There is a country called ‘Ethiopia’. Moses wife was not from Ethiopia. The father of Zipporah was Jethro, alias Raguel, alias Reuel. To Hobab, brother of Zipporah, son of Raguel, a Midianite, Num 10 ; 29, Moses said “Go with us, be as our eyes.” Often, when a black person is spoken of, there is a connection with eyes.

  • THE KUSHITE ORIGINS of SU~Ier and ELAM by Runoko Rashidi Ancient Sumer, the Biblical Land of Shinar, Modern Lower Mesopotamia, F
    THE KUSHITE ORIGINS OF SU~iER AND ELAM By Runoko Rashidi And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel ••. in the land of Shinar. 1 Ancient Sumer, the biblical land of Shinar, modern lower Mesopotamia, flourished in the third millenium B.C. covering the territorial expanse of the Tigris/Euphrates River Valley. Embracing the shores of the Persian Gulf, Sumer extended north to Akkad, a distance of about 320 miles, thus constituting Southern Babylonia. The appellation Chaldea, frequently applied to the region, appears to have been introduced by the Assyrians in the ninth century B.c.2 The designations Babylon, Babylonia and Chaldea have been used extensively, particularly by nine­ teenth century scholars, in reference to the area now almost exclusively known as Sumer. Sumer appears to be the first major high-culture of western Asia. She bequeathed to her successor states a tradi­ tion of great achievement. Her many contributions to civili­ zation are well known. Brilliant agriculturalists, the Sumerians built very sophisticated canals and reservoirs to irrigate their fields. They possessed both an advanced legal system and a well developed knowledge of medicine and were perhaps the ancient world's greatest astronomers.3 While these salient facts regarding Sumer's obvious cultural genius are well known, the important question of the racial composition of its population is generally glossed over. This apparent cloud concerning race, however, is very thin and there is a substantial body of evidence in support of the position that the civilization of Sumer was the product of Black migrations from Africa's Nile Valley.
