“Doctor Emanuel has produced an illuminating and dynamic resource with ‘ People of Color in the Bible.’ This book along with the accompanying teaching video provides a powerful resource for understanding the contribution made by People of Color throughout the development of man. This book should be read by Pastors and laymen.” -Bishop Lovell Wilson, Former Executive Pastor Maranatha Community Church of God-
“In no uncertain terms, I believe this book should be ‘REQUIRED READING’ for both young and old of today, regardless of race.. This book provides the answer and solution to Black America’s problem, i.e. identity.” – Dr. Dwight Eric Haynes Ph.D. in Systematic Theology and Biblical Languages, Former Adjunct Professor at Oakwood College –
