The Black Man, the Father of Civilization, Proven by Biblical History (Annotated): Enriched Edition. Biblical Ancestry, African Origins, and a Theology of Racial Vindication

The Black Man, the Father of Civilization, Proven by Biblical History is a forceful work of religious history and racial vindication, arguing from Scripture that people of African descent stand at the origins of civilization. Written in the sermonic, polemical style of early twentieth-century Black apologetics, the book reads biblical genealogy, ancient geography, and sacred narrative as evidence against racist historiography and pseudo-scientific theories of white supremacy. James Morris Webb was an African American minister and intellectual working in an era when Black citizenship, dignity, and historical memory were under sustained assault. His theological training and pastoral concerns clearly shape the book's method: he turns to the Bible not merely as a devotional text, but as an archive through which oppressed people might recover ancestry, authority, and divine purpose. Webb's work belongs to a broader tradition of Black religious scholarship seeking to answer racial degradation with sacred history. This book is recommended for readers interested in African American religious thought, biblical interpretation, and the intellectual history of racial uplift. While modern readers may question some of Webb's historical conclusions, the work remains valuable as a bold statement of resistance, identity, and spiritual self-definition.
