Bibliography
Following in the footsteps of such Genesis 10 and origin of nations researchers such as Rawlinson, Sayce and Custance, Craig White has spent many years of indepth research and analysis to track the migrations of peoples from the ancient Middle East to modern locations.
He has lived in several countries and has come to appreciate the enormous human and cultural diversity found all over our wonderful planet. He is driven by a respect for all peoples and races and a hope that they will all survive the onslaught of globalization and homogenization
His qualifications include a BA, Graduate Diploma in Education and MA from universities in addition to numerous other studies.
Many years have been spent
researching the origin of the world’s tribes, peoples and races - the family of
nations - based on the mysterious Table of Nations found in Genesis chapter
ten. Piecing together and tediously assembling the many parts of the puzzle,
the strands of information and the bits of data required for an exercise such
as this has not been easy for this writer/researcher.
Using a data-gathering and
deductive reasoning formula, I have pored through hundreds of books, journals
and articles to assemble a work which is moderate in size but huge in scope.
Basing the book on the requirement for biology, genetics and physical
anthropology as the chief criteria to ascertain which nations may be identified
with the peoples mentioned throughout the Bible, I found that modern racial
taxonomy and classification was very close to the Biblical model found in
Genesis 10.
Genesis 10 has often been
overlooked by modern scholars. Many Bible scholars from previous centuries, have had a fascination with it, but gradually
with the advent of humanism and the anti-literal interpretation of scripture,
interest in this chapter as the basis for the origin of nations has receded to
become almost a taboo subject.
In the 18th century Sir
William Jones and J Bryant wrote on the subject. But the interest in this
chapter of God’s Word peaking late 19th century with academics such
as Rawlinson famous for his Origin of Nations (1878) and Sayce in such books as Races
of the Old Testament (1891; 1925). Both showed an intense interest in this
key topic. Famous Seventh-day Adventist scholar, Alonzo T Jones also authored
two works on the subject: The Peopling of
the Earth (1887) and The Empires of
the Bible (vol 1) (1904). He was obviously
inspired by contemporary writers; in turn, others in the twentieth century were
inspired by his writings.
Authors such as Dr Herman L Hoeh, Arthur C Custance, Dr D J
Wiseman, Dr John Pilkey, Bill Cooper, J Simon and, of
course, Ross Marshall of Project Genesis
Ten, have continued the research and study of this fascinating science. Dr Hoeh in particular has demonstrated that history, ancient
tradition and authenticised lists of kings assist in
tracing various peoples around the world.
Much of the corpus of
Genesis 10 research in literature which has been extant for a considerable
period of time generally, in my estimation, remained inadequate while large
chunks of information had never been written up or explored in much detail.
My focus is primarily
historical and anthropological, attempting to find all scraps of evidence,
digest them, and then produce a synthesis of all the major finds (while
omitting many other minor proofs so as not to overwhelm the reader or clutter
up the book).
Since my spiritual awakening
in late 1972, I have developed a powerful curiosity about the national origins
of all peoples. It became apparent to me that, while some have included the
identity of Israel in their theology and
literature, almost nothing was said or published about the other peoples and
races. It was a pity that this area of identity was not included in overall
teachings about God's plan for humanity.
