Who Do Men Say That I Am?: Could You Bow to a Black God? Vol 2.

By Clyde Edwin Henderson

What if the image of Jesus presented to the world for centuries was shaped more by empire, politics, and culture than by historical reality?

What if generations inherited religious assumptions without ever questioning where those assumptions came from?

And what if the greatest challenge facing humanity is not simply accepting truth-but accepting truth when it destroys the images and traditions we have always known?

Who Do Men Say That I Am? Could You Bow to a Black God? is a bold, thought-provoking, and spiritually challenging 50-chapter journey through biblical history, identity, race, religion, prophecy, and truth.

In this powerful book, Henderson explores one of the most controversial and emotionally charged questions in modern Christianity:
What did Jesus truly look like historically-and why does it matter?

Drawing from Scripture, historical context, biblical prophecy, African history, and spiritual reflection, this book examines:

The origins of the white image of JesusThe influence of Renaissance art and European empireThe African presence throughout the BibleThe lineage of King David and King SolomonThe significance of Revelation 1 and 1 MaccabeesThe role of colonization in shaping religious imageryThe connection between identity, dignity, and spiritual awakeningThe struggle between truth and traditionThe relationship between race, religion, and power structures

Through 50 deeply reflective chapters, readers are challenged to confront difficult questions many institutions and traditions have avoided for generations.

Could centuries of imagery have unconsciously shaped how humanity views holiness, authority, and race?

How much did slavery, colonization, and empire influence global Christianity?

Why were Africa's contributions to biblical history and early Christianity often ignored or minimized?

Could the world recognize truth if truth arrived outside of familiar cultural expectations? This book does not seek to spread hatred, racial superiority, or division. Instead, it calls readers toward historical honesty, spiritual discernment, and deeper understanding. It reminds humanity that the Gospel of Jesus Christ transcends race, empire, politics, and cultural domination while still acknowledging the importance of truth, representation, and human dignity.

Inside these pages, readers will discover:

The hidden influence of religious art on global consciousnessThe forgotten history of African kingdoms connected to ScriptureThe rise and fall of empires throughout biblical historyThe prophetic voices that challenged corruption and oppressionThe role of the church in history, both good and badThe humanity of Jesus within His historical worldThe meaning of spiritual liberation and restored identityWhy truth remains essential for healing divided nations

This book also explores how generations of people searching for identity after slavery and historical erasure turned toward the Bible seeking belonging, dignity, and truth.

For many readers, these chapters will be eye-opening.
For others, deeply convicting.
For all, unforgettable.

At its heart, this book asks two central question: Who Do Men Say That I Am? Could You Bow to a Black God?

The voice of Christ still echoes through history asking every generation the same eternal question:

"Who do men say that I am?"
