Africa and the Bible: Corrective Lenses-Critical Essays

This book describes how traditional biblical interpretations have erased or distorted Africa’s role in Scripture. Rice gives you a new perspective and lens to the exegesis of biblical passages and the understanding of pivotal characters and their lineage. Rice challenges the Eurocentric lens that has shaped mainstream theology and argues for a more accurate, decolonized reading of the Bible. He breaks down how misreadings—like the Curse of Ham—have fueled racial bias and offers a fresh perspective that reclaims Africa’s rightful place in biblical history. This work adds to the ongoing conversation about race, faith, and the need to rethink how we engage with Scripture.
