Mosley gathers biblical, historical, and artistic evidence to argue that Jesus and the people of the Bible were people of color, directly challenging the European images standard in Western churches. The book carries introductions by Frank M. Reid III and Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. It has been a staple of Black church book tables ever since, as a popular-level entry into recovering the African presence in scripture.
