  The Testimony ©2026 ISBN978-976-98069-9-3.mp3

  The Testimony ©2026 ISBN978-976-98069-9-3.mp3 As a polymath, I find that a single disciplinary lens often leaves us with a flat, two-dimensional reading. To truly appreciate the depth of Acts 26, I employ seven distinct perspectives: the authorial, the publishing, the photojournalistic, the cinematographic, the media arts, the cultural theoretical, and the religious. Each lens, like a different filter on a camera, reveals aspects of the narrative that others might miss becomes a fascinating premise. I’ve coined the term "Aperture Theology." For the uninitiated, let me explain how a photographic concept like aperture applies to a theological analysis of Paul’s story?

RECOGNITIONS As I take a moment to reflect on my journey, I am filled with profound gratitude for the Creator's guiding hand that has led me every step of the way. Life has brought me countless blessings, and at the forefront of these blessings is the immeasurable debt of thanks I owe to my late parents, Charles and Ira Gittens. They bestowed upon me their wisdom and creative spirit, which have been a consistent source of inspiration throughout my life. Their counsel and encouragement continue to resonate within me, shaping my path and purpose. To my beloved wife, Magnola Gittens, your unwavering support has been my anchor in turbulent seas. Your love and understanding provide the strength necessary to navigate life’s complexities. I am eternally grateful for your presence, which comforts and uplifts me. To my brothers—Shurland, Charles, Ricardo, and my late brothers Arnott and Stephen—as well as my sisters, Emerald, Marcella, and Cheryl, thank you for being my steadfast companions along this journey. Each of you has contributed uniquely to my narrative, reminding me of the importance of family ties in shaping who I am today. I extend my heartfelt appreciation to my cousins: Joy Mayers, Kevin and Ernest Mayers, Donna Archer, Avis Dyer, and Jackie Clarke. Your love and camaraderie have enriched my life beyond measure. To my uncles, Clifford, Leonard Mayers, David Bruce, and Collin Rock, your support has been invaluable, strengthening the bonds of our family. To my children, Laron and Lisa, grandson Elijah you are my pride and joy, the motivation behind my work, fuelling my desire to create and inspire.Moreover, I am equally grateful to all who have believed in me and wanted nothing but the best for my growth. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Platizky, Mr. Matthew Sutton, Mr. Juan Arroyo, Mr. and Mrs. David Lavine, and many others have played pivotal roles in my development, encouraging me to pursue my passions relentlessly. During my time at New Jersey City University (NJCU), I had the privilege of receiving guidance from exceptional mentors, including the late Dr. Joseph Drew, Merline Mayers, Mrs. Ellen Gordon, Dr. Nicholas Gordon, Rev. Dr. Scofield Eversley BSS, and many others. Conversations about enhancing my writing skills after graduating were integral to my growth, providing the foundation for my future endeavours. Over the past three decades, my experiences in the leisure activities industry have significantly shaped my journey. From 1995 to 2026, I have devoted myself to writing, resulting in 494 E-Publications and 321 podcasts that resonate within the community. In recognition of the profound impact Dr. Joseph Drew had on my academic and personal development, I dedicated my 66th publication, "A Tribute to Culture" Vol. 1, to him—a small token of gratitude for his enormous influence on my life.As I look forward to what lies ahead, I remain thankful to all who have contributed to my story and to the Creator for the endless possibilities this journey holds. Each person's presence has left an indelible mark on my life, guiding me toward a future filled with hope and potential. Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D.

  Why I Am So Fond of the King James Version(KJV) ©2026.mp3

  Sep 11, 202614 minS1

  Preface When a distinguished Barbadian, posed the theological question of “Why I Dr. William Anderson Gittens, Doctor of Divinity, hold such a fondness for the King James Version (KJV),” it sparked a deep reflection in my mind. After considerable contemplation, I decided to approach this inquiry through the perspectives of my various roles as a writer, podcaster, publisher, photojournalist, cinematographer, media arts specialist, cultural theorist, and doctor of divinity. These perspectives proved to be immensely beneficial.
