Overview of the Curriculum
The curriculum sets out to provide a practical insight of various scriptural topics in the Old and the New Testament where we explore the fundamentals of the African-centric perspective. The curriculum covers various themes such as, amongst many others, Abrahams’ third wife, ‘Keturah.’ The great controversy about the so called ‘Curse of Ham’ and the ‘Promise Land’ formerly, the land of the Canaan, in relation to Africa and these peoples’ locations. So these examples show a focus on certain events, characters and places in the bible. The following abstracts give examples for two segments out of a probable six segments, which are included in this Programme. These then gives a very brief description of some themes to be found within each of the different segments of the curriculum.
Segment #1 – This segment is made up of two themes. The first theme looks at ‘Man’ from the beginning, at the time when God created Adam (and Eve) from the dust of the earth. Students will be encouraged to think about some aspects of the ‘Man’, Adam, who was made in God’s image. God had put Adam in the ‘Garden of Eden.’ In the second theme, students will be taken through some of the theories attempting to locate the ‘Garden of Eden.’ Readers will gain some appreciation of the controversy surrounding the location of the ‘Garden of Eden’ and its four rivers.
Segment #2 – In segment two, students will be introduced to various themes that will take them, from the ancient times of Adam to Noah and his three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. Students will see how the peopling of the earth came about and be acquainted with the ‘genealogy of man’ as it is recorded in the Bible. It will be shown how early man branched out from a common people and language into separate nations. The separation stems from the event of the ‘Tower of Babel’ and the result is commonly known as the ‘Table of Nations.’
There are two considerations that are consistently addressed in the Curriculum. Firstly, the traditional Eurocentric interpretations of biblical events, characters and places. This Eurocentric view has been balanced with the diminutively known, multi-cultural interpretations of the Scripture. Secondly, the elements of African spirituality are exposed for what it really is. This is achieved primarily in the preface of the curriculum with some contrasting background information and history, which helps to highlight this.
Therefore, I am looking to make concise the work from about 56,000 word count. Structure the contents to logical clarity and easier reading. Make sense of the summary conclusion so that it ties up with the whole Programme, but leaving the conclusion open for readers to make up their own minds. As well as better analysis of the subject making it very clear, and updated research inclusion, proofreading, grammar and logical sentence building, etc., etc. This is part one of the work. Part two will be a separate project. Thank you for a concessionary quote as we will be a small independent start-up non-profit organisation.
