(2012)Reverend Richard A. Morrisey (born 1858) was a first-rate African-American biblical scholar-a valedictorian of Livingston College and a Doctor of Divinity, president of the Greeneville College, and the pastor of a number of churches in the American South and in Pennsylvania.In 1915, Morrisey published "e;Bible History of the Negro,"e; with the hope of inspiring a greater desire to read the Bible"e; which he describes as giving "e;the Negro a place among the foremost races of the world, in wealth, in education, in honor and in religion-a history to which every member of the race may point with great pride and profound gratitude to Almighty God today; for the best way to judge the future of any people is by the past."e;Morrisey's book of unusual interest importance brings together brings together all the references to the black race in the Bible, covering:* HAM,* BATHSHEBA, THE QUEEN OF SHEBA,* THE WIDOW OF ZAREPHATH,* "e;WISE MEN FROM THE EAST,"e;* GENEALOGY OF CHRIST,* ONE OF THE TWELVE DISCIPLES,* SIMON THE CYRENIAN,* MEMBERS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH,* NIMROD FOUNDER OF THE BABYLONIAN EMPIRE,* MELCHIZEDEK,* HAGAR AND ISHMAEL,* RAHAB,* WORKMEN OF THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON,* PHILIP AND THE ETHIOPIAN,* CANDACE, QUEEN OF ETHIOPIA.In debunking Noah's curse of Ham as a justification for slavery, Morrisey writes that Noah "e;no doubt was angry at the time and spoke as one in such a temper in those times naturally would speak. Again, God had already blessed the descendants of Ham before Noah made his attempt to curse them; and God had placed his blessings upon them and had not withdrawn it: Noah had no power to revoke whatever God had done, however great his desire to pronounce a curse."e;This book called "e;Bible History of the Negro Race"e; is indeed of unusual interest and importance. It may be rightly termed a brief history of some of the world's most illustrious men and women.
