REV. DR. CAIN HOPE FELDER
OVER 20 YEARS AGO, I HAD VISITED AN INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF BIBLE SCHOLARS HELD HERE IN KC. AS I WAS LEAVING, WALKING UP THE SIDEWALK, I ESPIED A GROUP OF BROTHERS WALKING TOWARD ME, STUDYING ME AS INTENTLY, AS I HAD BEEN THEM. ONLY LATER DID I REALIZE THAT THE GROUP I PASSED HAD INCLUDED THE GREAT DR. CAIN HOPE FELDER, EDITOR OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN BIBLE, PUBLISHED BY DR. JAMES W. PEEBLES!
I HAD THAT VERY INIMITABLE BIBLE IN MY BRIEF CASE AT THAT VERY TIME, AMONG SEVERAL OTHERS. THE SPIRIT HAD URGED ME TO SPEAK OUT! BUT I REPRESSED THE URGE TO MY DETRIMENT AND SHAME. I HAVE IMPROVED THAT DEFECT, NOW, BY GOD'S GRACE AND MERCY.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cain_Hope_Felder
