Reclaiming Black Biblical History with Dr. Theron Williams

About this episode

Dr. Theron Williams discusses the intersection of Black history and Christianity, emphasizing the need to challenge distorted teachings and reclaim the Bible's true narrative.

DJ Black Unicorn and the Rabbi speak with Dr. Theron Williams, author of The Bible Is Black History, about Christian nationalism and its impact on the Black church. Dr. Williams explains that many young people question the Bible because of white-washed imagery and distorted teachings. He argues the Bible reflects Black history and that white supremacy has hijacked Christianity to serve political and racial agendas. He encourages believers to study scripture in its historical context, challenge inherited narratives, and “decolonize the gospel.” He also invites listeners to explore the Bible Is Black History Online Academy.
