Abstract
Chapter four further unfolds the analysis of witness within a theology of the Word in Black Churches one step further by looking at the Bible as a “proclaimed witness.” There would never have been a religious, social, cultural movement that rocked the very foundations of the Roman Empire were it not for the publicly declared witness of the Good News—the proclamation of a crucified Jew named Yehoshua as the Risen Christ.
