This is really a great bible for anyone to own. It written from an African perspective and goes into what races of the people of the ancient world actually were. There was one review that called this faulty reasoning. Well, this Is wrong. Cleopatra, contrary to popular belief was of mixed blood and not fully white and many of the roman's were dark Italians (also of mixed blood) and had many diffent races serving (much like the u.s. army of today) In their army. The Egyptians of Jesus were NOT blonde blue eyed europeans, some had lighter skin, some had darker skin, but no white Jesus could have hid In Egypt. Anyway, this a good bible to own and makes very good reading.
