Exactly and Especially for the reasons you have mentioned. This is not a New Idea.
BOTH Hons. Prof Cheikh Anta Diop AND Josef Ben-Jochanan Have stated time and time again that WE need a Black Bible based on Our Historical perspective
and taught by using Anthropology, Archaeology, Ethnology And Linguistics.!!!
This is especially in reference to Native Black Americans here In The Western
Hemisphere.
Shalom El-Hetep, My Brother and Group Members.!!!

I agree that we need a spiritual/historical book from a Pan-African perspective, and if you want to call it "Bible" then so be it (although I'd prefer another name, as it comes from the Greek term byblos meaning "papyrus"). However, what people are talking about here is translating the garbage already there (eg. the Bible) into an African version. If anyone has done even remedial computer programming, they know the concept of GIGO; garbage in, garbage out. Nothing spiritually or culturally fruitful could possibly come from such a witless exercise.
