The African Roots of the Reformation | Dr. David Daniels

[@Charlie4Kinks]

Please have this brother on again! This was very insightful!! I think another piece of the puzzle is that we don’t often know the story of people in color in general (ie Asians) and their contributions to the early church. I often wonder what the church outside of Europe looked like during the reformation and other period of church history

[@TheThinkersBible]

Fantastic information. It’s eye-opening the amount of information that is now becoming available in so many areas on so many topics regarding the presence and significant-to-critical contributions that so many saints in so many places outside of Europe made and are making. Thanks for interviewing this brother.

This is tremendous instruction that the Church of the Lord Jesus needs to hear. The contributions to Christianity have been presented as coming through Europeans only. The only way to purge this ignorance is through thorough historical research and teaching as Dr. Daniels has and is doing. Praise the Lord for this servant of God.

It's my first time hearing any of this. So fascinating

Changing the narrative "By including more of the facts."

[@dariusward2007]

Wow!!!! This is awesome!!! More evidence that Africans were deeply involved in Christian theology. Black Christians (and black fundamentalist/evangelicals in particular) need to hear this.

I thoroughly enjoyed this!! So glad I've stumbled upon the Jude 3 project. You got a new subscriber!

[@candrewgcg]

This was simply Great!

Fascinated. Thank you for this podcast. I have always maintained that history has receipts.

What I see in this meeting between Michael and Luther is a divine appointment. First there had been Solomon meeting with the Queen of Sheba to share Judaism, then Peter meeting with the Ethiopian eunuch, a Jew, to share that Messiah had come, and finally Michael being led to Luther to bear witness to Luther turning to the right path, the ancient path. I'm very excited to listen to this!

[@jamesengland7461]

There's still a Jewish and a Christian community in Ethiopia dating back millennia.

Best assessment!

[@TheologyCafe]

Fantastic!! Digging into Univ Chicago's "Sightings" now! Thank you so very much and please keep up this good work.

Good point. Schism vs. Reformation

[@eyobtesfaye1138]

Good lesson ❤

[@teshaleamele2703]

Very relevant

[@bobbyvalentine9108]

Thomas C. Oden, of blessed memory, has argued in several books how European Christianity has a great debt to Africa.

[@mkclayton8896]

Yes he did. I remember this content in his work ,"Classic Christianity".

[@Zeuwamakanuwadiegwu]

Good stuff

One day we’ll actually read the Bible and recognize the events therein literally happened in Africa.

[@johnpaul1522]

Eh, I wouldnt say that the Ethiopian Church has any significance to the Reformation as much to call it "the african roots". Luther and the Lutherans wanted to find common ground wherever they could outside of Catholicism. One group being the eastern orthodox church which they praised and wrote highly of but came to a sudden closure after they had a dialogue and realised how diametrically opposed their doctrines were. Some reformers even did this with the Ottomons.

I'm sorry but I can't sit here and listen to this " we are over looked as black people" crap anymore....your discussion foceses on that when in the Old Testament the Bible clearly explained how Moses married the Queen of Ethiopia and I'm sure that many other Israelites would have taken marriage with during our wondering in the desert....I would also say that many others races were also brought in through marriage....you are forgetting where Abraham came from.... Mesopotamia...and I have always known that Ethiopia are a branch of Israel and I am white but they are my brothers... shalom....I would also like to add that Ethiopia is also mentioned in Revaluation...so the Ethiopian people were not left out of scriptures as you are trying to claim Dr.... have a nice day

The truth is that the achievements of so many, both now and in history, have been overlooked because of background, skin color and nationality.
