Description
When God Was a Black Woman by Joseph R. Gibson and Joseph Gibson, Jr. A critical examination of the origins of the divine feminine in ancient civilizations reveals a surprising truth. The authors argue that the earliest female deities of the Near and Middle East were often depicted as Black women, challenging the traditional narrative of a white, male God. Drawing on historical, mythological, and archaeological evidence, the authors make a compelling case for the existence of a Black goddess at the dawn of human spirituality. This book explores the connections between the Goddess of ancient Black cultures and the Indo-European male deity, highlighting the impact of colonialism and conquest on the representation of the divine. By re-examining the evidence, the authors shed new light on the complex history of human spirituality and the ways in which our understanding of the divine has been shaped by cultural and racial biases. First published in 2019, When God Was a Black Woman is a thought-provoking exploration of the origins of the divine feminine and the ways in which our understanding of the divine has been shaped by history and culture.
