| Summary: | This article investigates the Queen of Sheba in the biblical, Islamic, Arabian and Yoruba traditions in order to ascertain who she was and what contribution she has made, particularly in the biblical record and what a difference she has made among women in the sphere of life. Unlike some Euro-American scholars who are trying to de-Africanize the biblical text, this paper tries to establish the African presence in the Old Testament. It maintains that the Africanness of the Queen of Sheba according to biblical, Ethiopian, Arabian and Yoruba (Nigerian) traditions should not be doubted. |
