““Whether Egypt or Greece is the source of modern civilization, their religion is not something one desires. As oppressed and enslaved people, Africans have some commonality with Israel in Egypt. Like the Jews, Africans too can consider God’s redemptive act as the central manifestation of his love and omnipotence in human history. The prophet Hosea was right when he said to Israel; “I am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt; you know no God but me, and besides me there is no savior” (13:4). This is true for Africans then and now.””
