I just read your book From Every People and Nation and very much enjoyed it! It gave me a lot to think about. I did have a question on your section regarding Phinehas.  You note "While the meaning of Phinehas’ name is absolutely clear, the significance of this meaning is admittedly not quite as certain. However, I would propose several theological conclusions. First of all, it is extremely probable that Phinehas was at least half Black." Would the same be true of the other individuals in the Bible named "Phinehas" in your opinion? If the context doesn't allow for this in the other instances, I would think it makes it challenging to take this position on one of the individuals and not the others. Would welcome your thoughts. Thank you!
