Revelations on Ras Tafari

<p>In this concise analysis of the Ras Tafari movement's most foundational beliefs, Clinton Chisholm provides shocking perspectives on the origins of the movement, the misconceptions concerning Emperor Haile Selassie's names and titles and alleged connections with King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. He highlights the mistaken belief that modern Ethiopia is mentioned in the Bible and points out some weaknesses in the Kebra Nagast. Drawing on his training in the biblical languages, the former Baptist Pastor chides Rastas on their pronunciation of 'Jesus' and 'Jah' Chisholm will no doubt 'lose friends and irritate people' for his radical views on black consciousness in the chapter dealing with whether Jesus Christ was Black and Dreadlocked. In the latter chapters of the book the self-styled Christian Apologist tackles those who see the Rastafari faith as superior to Christianity and he pits Emperor Haile Selassie's views on religion, Christianity and the Bible against the views of Rastas. The book closes with appendices in which Chisholm tackles the views of Professor Rex Nettleford and the late Barbadian 'Dread' Dr. Ikael Tafari.</p>

<p>PROMOTING CRITICAL THINKING EVERYWHERE  In the Caribbean, no commentator or journalist arrives at the level of sophistication represented by Rev. Dr. Clinton A. Chisholm. His evaluations of things theological, political, and cultural stand leagues above average fare. Those outside the Caribbean would learn much reading him. In this book, Christian Apologist, Rev. Chisholm shares 33 newspaper articles marked by cogent argumentation, communicated in lucid prose to reflect a wide range of issues of concern to his target audience. The insights he shares are informed and illuminating. The articles may serve as splendid conversation starters that can help readers and discussion groups unearth perspectives they previously failed to consider. This book is beneficial as we seek to develop and hone that important 21st Century skill of Critical Thinking which appears to be disappearing from among even those considered to be the most erudite in our society. This book is simply "must" reading for anyone who wishes to think seriously about contemporary issues in light of classical values."</p>
