Ben Ammi Ben Israel: Black Theology, Theodicy and Judaism in the Thought of the African Hebrew Israelite Messiah: Bloomsbury Studies in Black Religion and Cultures

Autor Michael Miller
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 aug 2023
This text introduces Ben Ammi, the leader and theologian of the African Hebrew Israelite community, as a systematic thinker and theologian. It examines his many books and speeches in order to provide a comprehensive introduction to his thought in the context of both African American and Jewish contemporaries and precursors.Divided into three thematic sections, History, Law, and Language, the text introduces Ben Ammi's understanding of the nature of God, the responsibilities of the human, and the narrative of history. Ben Ammi was a deeply spiritual but also remarkably modern thinker who blended scientific thought into his evolving socio-theology, while seeking to remove religion from the realm of mythology. The book evaluates how Ben Ammi's theology is one bound to concepts of humility and learning how to go with the grain of the natural world in order to find humanity's true center as a part of nature.

Recenzii

Ben Ammi Ben Israel, the man and messiah figure, is one of the most interesting spiritual leaders to emerge in African American history. This thorough and thoughtful book by Michael Miller takes him seriously as a revolutionary thinker who challenges much of what we think we know about black politics, culture, language, life and death today.
This well-researched book fulfils a long-felt need - a thorough analysis of the philosophy of BenAmmi Ben Israel and the beliefs of the Hebrew Israelite movement.
Ben Ammi Ben Israel is not a name that is burnished on the consciousness of many peopleoutside of the relatively small world of those interested in and committed to Blackliberation. Miller's book is therefore a timely and a bold restatement of the manand his theological, political and ethical ideas concerned with the selfactualisationand self-determination of Black people ... This excellent text is a reminder of an important voice in the Black radical tradition that should be reclaimed.
