True Historical Biblical People Part 5

Chapter five continues the discussion about the intermixing of the people of the Bible. The author details the intermarrying of the Israelites with other people in that geographic region. He clearly shows that the Bible documents many instances of people from Abraham, in the Old Testament, through those in the New Testament, intermarrying people of other nations. The term “Race” used to denote people is a modern concept that did not exist in the world of the Bible. People were known by their nations and their language but not by such an incomplete term as race. Unlike our modern world, plagued by racism, for the last four hundred years, the Biblical world has not appeared to have had any racial conflict. The Bible definitely documents conflicts among the various nations, and it also documents inter-nation conflicts, but racism as we know it in our time, is not documented in the Bible.
