The Bisrat: Apologetics in African Terms is an apologetic guide by Dr. Vince Bantu to help you answer some of the most pressing apologetic questions in the black community.

“The Bisrat is presented here using terms that have been used for centuries by African Nazrawi from various parts of the continent. This also demonstrates that the Bisrat has been among Black people since the beginning of the Urpeh. Various ancient African cultures are embraced in this book to reflect the PanAfrican ancestry of Black descendants of those who arrived in the Americas through slavery.” -Dr. Vince Bantu
