Rastafari Beliefs: A Critical Analysis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789769693067)

A Concise Analysis of the Most Fundamental Beliefs of The Rastafari Movement

• Was His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, the black man's god?

• Did Solomon have sexual relations with the Queen of Sheba?

• Is there an unbroken blood-related line of Ethiopian Emperors going back to King Solomon?

In this book, Rastafari Beliefs, these and other claims of the Rastafari Movement are addressed by the Caribbean's leading Christian Apologist and an eminent scholar on Rastafari, the Rev. Dr. Clinton Chisholm. He was the consulting editor for the book, Chanting Down Babylon: The Rastafari Reader, which is the most authoritative as well as extensively researched book on the Rastafari Movement.

Rastafari Beliefs is a revised edition of his previous work, Revelations on Ras Tafari. It refutes popularly accepted, false beliefs of the Rastafari movement including:

• Misconceptions concerning Emperor Haile Selassie's ethnicity, names, and titles.

• Alleged connections with King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba and an unbroken blood-related line of Ethiopian Emperors going back to King Solomon.

• Solomon and David were Black men,

• Modern Ethiopia is mentioned in the Bible.

• The radical differences between His Majesty and Rastas on Christianity and the Bible

The book also addresses false beliefs about Christianity including:

• Whether African Religion is the true doctrinal source of the Judaeo-Christian Faith

• The alleged discovery of the bones of Jesus in the "Jesus Ossuary."

You will love this book because it is an expert analysis of Rasta's core beliefs. This book is a must-have for scholars, Christians who desire to "make disciples of all people," and anyone interested in Rastafari and the pursuit of truth.
