So, I came across a news article on CNN recently which explores several interesting dichotomies surrounding the ethnicity of Jesus.

In this news article, it expounds upon the scholarly work examined in a book authored by Dr. Christena Cleveland (PhD)… who makes a salient point about Jesus being raised in the town of Nazareth by the Sea of Galilee— which is as near a Palestinian geological point of reference, as one could get. Was Jesus a Palestinian? Was he a person of color, and not someone depicted as a White Jesus (as some believe him to be)? Cleveland’s book is of great interest to me, so I’m gonna read it and sit with her thoughts for a bit.
BOOK: God is a Black Woman (Cleveland, C.).
