1 African American Religious Life and the Story of Nimrod
2 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Genesis 10:1 10 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another s speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. Genesis 11:1 9

9 Acknowledgments The editors would like to express gratitude to Amanda Johnson Moon of Palgrave Macmillan for her support of this project. The editors would also like to thank Missy Daniel of Religion and Ethics Newsweekly for her helpful corrections and emendations of several chapters in this collection. In addition, the editors express gratitude to Stephen Finley, a PhD candidate in Religious Studies at Rice University, for preparation of the documents in the appendix, complete with the introductions for each, for compilation of the bibliography, and for preparation of the index. Both entailed a complex process to which he gave time with great cheer and enthusiasm. Stephen Finley received assistance with the former: Thank you to Dr. Rachel Vincent-Finley, A Tousha Ricks, Jacquie Staton, and Kenya Tuttle for their assistance with formatting documents and tracking down authors. Allen Callahan would like to thank Peter Machinist for his astute and judicious comments and criticisms in his review of an earlier draft of Allen Callahan s chapter on Nimrod and the Tower of Babel. Furthermore, Callahan wishes to express his appreciation to students in the Doctor of Ministry programs at United Theological Seminary and Pittsburgh Theological Seminary for their thoughtful engagement of some of the key ideas that inform his essay on Nimrod and the Tower of Babel presented in lectures he gave at both institutions earlier this year. Finally, Callahan would also like to thank Professors Vivian Johnson and Thomas Dozeman of United Theological Seminary for giving so generously of their time and expertise. Anthony Pinn would like to thank a host of friends particularly Ramón Rentas, Robbie Seals, Benjamin Valentin, and Eli Valentin for their good humor. Pinn would also like to thank Stacey and Juan Floyd- Thomas for arranging an opportunity to discuss Nimrod in general, and for the comments on an early draft of his chapter in particular. Pinn would also like to thank colleagues at Rice University Alexander Bryd, Edward Cox, and especially Caroline F. Levander for friendship and kind words. Finally, the editors express their gratitude to the contributors, whose various perspectives on Nimrod both pro and con serve as an initial effort in a hermeneutic of recovery, a process of archaeological investigation, by which renewed attention in Black Religious Studies is given to this hunter, builder, and descendent of Ham.
