Growing up, I was taught that it was pronounced ny-jer, so I never gave it any additional thought. A couple of years ago, a friend of mine brought up the reference in Acts, which motivated me to give it a second look. Let's start by looking at the verse: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.\" - Acts 13:1\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe're going to dig into every aspect of this verse, starting with the word \"Niger\" and then we're going to investigate what I believe to be a list of black apostles in the Bible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dante Fortson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1076224695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781076224699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.06d","brand":"Dante Fortson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989721448703,"sku":"9781076224699","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e210773f-22f0-4399-815c-3a5d829ea203.jpg?v=1683301058","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-niger-to-nigger-dante-fortson-9781076224699","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
