Zephaniah: THE BLACK PROPHET IN THE BIBLE: His African Heritage, His Prophetic Message, And His Relevance Today (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798252612119)

ZEPHANIAH: The Black Prophet in the Bible
Hidden within the pages of the Old Testament is a prophetic voice many readers have overlooked-yet his message is one of the most powerful warnings ever delivered to a nation.
His name is Zephaniah.
In just three chapters, Zephaniah confronts corruption, exposes idolatry, and announces the coming Day of the Lord-a moment when God will hold nations accountable for their moral and spiritual choices.
But Zephaniah's story begins with a fascinating detail.
The prophet identifies himself as "the son of Cushi," a name connected to the ancient African kingdom of Cush. This remarkable genealogy invites readers to rediscover the African presence in biblical history and reconsider the global scope of the Scriptures.
In ZEPHANIAH: The Black Prophet in the Bible, Dr. LeRoy H. Carter Jr. explores:
- The historical and cultural background of Zephaniah
- The significance of his genealogy and possible African heritage
- The spiritual crisis in Judah during the reign of Josiah
- The meaning of the Day of the Lord
- The promise of restoration for God's people
Written for pastors, students, and readers who desire deeper biblical understanding, this book combines historical insight, prophetic teaching, and practical application.
Zephaniah warned a nation drifting from God.
His message still speaks today.
