Testimonial

“I find this scholarly book a landmark in the growth and development of Rastafarian Theology. It represents a new (yet ancient) faculty of interpretation based on the teachings of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I and the Holy Scriptures. It should be carefully and thoughtfully read by those seeking to understand our King and our Faith.” – Mortimo Planno – Patriarch and Ambassador of the Rastafari Movement

“The contents of this book open up the dialogue on Rastafari and Salassie I much more widely than the theological converters will be comfortable with. It should also prove to be useful guide book for Rastafarians seeking to enlarge and define their theological beliefs – Barbara Blake Hannah

A Scholarly Book

“Phillpotts’ book presents new opportunities for an overstanding of this Christ’s significance to Emperor Haile Selassie I, both as a spiritual leader and as a Messianic figure revered by Rastafari.” – Barbara Blake Hannah (Kingston, Jamaica)

Opportunity for Overstanding

Karl Phillpotts (Brother Napthali)

Karl Courtney Phillpotts was born in Kingston, Jamaica, on the 29th December 1952, along with his twin sister Carole, to Leo and Mable Phillpotts. He is married to Sis Valerie ‘Simeon’ who has raised him eight blessed children. He embraced the faith of Rastafari from the tender age of 14 and from then onwards he never wavered in his pursuit to understand the Holy Bible and the role of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I in Biblical prophecy. The philosophy and opinions of Marcus Garvey also had a strong influence on his philosophical development and inspiration.
