Hebrew Israelite Arguments and Defeaters

Christian engagement with the Black Hebrew Israelite movement. Defeaters address the reading of Deuteronomy 28:68 as a trans-Atlantic slave-trade prophecy, the Khazar theory of Ashkenazi replacement, the racial-descriptor proof texts, the teaching that the Mosaic Law still binds, the Sacred Name dogma, the exclusion of Gentiles, and the reverse-slavery eschatology drawn from Isaiah 14. Positive arguments establish African presence in the biblical narrative and the pre-colonial depth of African Christianity. The pastoral aim is to answer the movement without dismissing the historical grievance that gives it force. Master frame: The Hebrew Israelite Defense.
