Abstract
Dr. Charles Copher is one of the black pioneer scholars of Old Testament. His distinction lies in his scholarly and analytical study of the black experience in the entire Bible. He notices that “numerous references to Africa and Africans are located in several types of the biblical literature: in the Pentateuch or five books of the Law; in the so-called historical books; in the books of prophecy; in poetical-wisdom books - all in the Old Testament; and in the New Testament Gospels, the one historical book, letters, and the apocalypse.”
