The author of the book “Savages – Apes or People of Promise: A Biblical Study of Black Ancestry,” Jocelyn D. Whitehead, was interviewed by Benji Cole of CBS Radio. They talked about the in-depth nature of the book’s theme and inspiration during the interview. Her inspiration for writing the book is deeply rooted in the truth of her faith and the way she understands and processes the world. At its core, her inspiration came from the guidance of the Holy Spirit, shaping both the message and the purpose behind the book.
In a world where narratives about identity and history are constantly debated, “Savages – Apes or People of Promise” emerges as a thought‑provoking exploration rooted in scripture. Jocelyn D. Whitehead’s work delves into the complex and often contentious subject of Black ancestry, inviting readers to consider ancient texts through a fresh lens of reinterpretation and clarity.
Jocelyn Whitehead is a native of Detroit and a mother of one son. She is a photographer, speaker, teacher, and Minister of the Gospel, passionate about God’s Word and people. Jocelyn has a bachelor’s degree in leadership and ministry from Grace Christian University, where she graduated with high honors. She was honored by the Delta Epsilon Chi Association for Biblical Higher Education for Intellectual Achievement, Christian Character, and Leadership Ability.
Jocelyn has served on foreign and domestic mission trips. Her life’s scripture is John 12:24, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”
At its heart, “Savages – Apes or People of Promise “challenges readers to rethink the narratives that have shaped perceptions of Black ancestry, particularly those derived from cultural and pseudo‑scientific beliefs. Whitehead highlights how centuries of distorted stories—about origins, purpose, and identity—have influenced communities’ self‑perception, arguing that true understanding must come from revisiting scripture and history with fresh eyes.
The book seeks to confront long‑standing misconceptions and narratives that the author argues have “entrapped” the minds and souls of people for centuries. Through what is presented as accessible and enlightening scripture‑based analysis, Whitehead attempts to connect the “missing links” in the fragmented story of so‑called African American origins.
Whether embraced by devout believers, curious seekers, or those exploring identity in a broader cultural context, this book offers a perspective that challenges, enlightens, and seeks to reconnect the threads of ancestry with the heart of truth.
