Synopsis

A bold claim about civilization’s origin grounded in biblical history and the achievements of the world’s oldest cultures. This edition presents a provocative view of who shaped early society and how ancient Africa influenced humanity’s path.

This book argues that the Bible tells the true story of human origins and the rise of civilization, highlighting the black man’s central role in early culture. It surveys ancient Egypt, Thebes, and other African centers to trace lines of influence from antiquity to modern times, emphasizing contributions in art, music, and science. The author presents these ideas through biblical references and historical interpretation, inviting readers to reconsider long-held assumptions about race and civilization.



What you’ll encounter:




  • Arguments that trace civilization back to Africa and the Nile region.

  • Connections drawn between biblical figures, geography, and ancient cultures.

  • Discussion of notable black scholars, artists, and scientists cited as foundational to world progress.

  • Plain language explanations of how historical narratives have shaped current understandings of race and culture.



Ideal for readers interested in alternative historical perspectives, biblical history, and African heritage as it relates to civilization’s origins.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Black Man - The Father of Civilization - Proven by Biblical History by James Morris Webb. I have many objects in presenting this book to the public. First: I love my race regardless of the prejudice against her, the unenviable position she holds, and the things she is falsely said to be guilty of. I demonstrate my love for her by launching this book before the public as somewhat of a defense against the prejudice of ancient, as well as modern historical writers and lecturers, who have misrepresented her, and took from her the good deeds and honors that are justly due her. Secondly: I realize that my race has had defenders, and has some now, men of my race and men of other races. But I am simply presenting this book as an humble race defender, in connection with the body of race defenders, and if my theory in this book is accepted as one of the little fingers of this splendid body, I will feel that I have accomplished some results and thus portrayed the story of “The Widow’s Mite”—she gave all she had, and I contribute likewise. Thirdly: To appreciate my argument, the reader had best have a Bible at his finger tips so as to examine my references and compare them with my statements, which I make wholly and solely upon the authorities found in the Bible, which in turn is the real and only authority on ancient history (again my authority is not inspired in the slightest degree with malice or hatred for the white race). My profession as a Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ would not permit me to defend in the name of justice, harboring malice and hatred or any ill feeling toward my white brethren. I am acting with that meek and humble spirit and with a gigantic pride in my race, which I hope, pleases God. J. M. WEBB.
