Since the beginning of Christian missions to Africans and African Americans, Christianity has been a religion traditionally accepted as Eurocentric. Significant people in the Bible, including Jesus, were described as white by missionaries and early users of the Bible. Thus, it is vital to recognize and expose Black heritage in the Bible and Christianity through preaching to expand self-esteem and win religious favor among members of the African American community. Knowledge and understanding of the purpose and the presence of Black people in the Bible will build a sense of belonging, while allowing infinite religious expression. Analysis of preaching Black presence in the Bible to build up self-esteem of African American congregations is the intent of this thesis. Methods will be embraced to cultivate the African American population in the church, coupled with self-awareness for edification of African American people.
