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

“Your book is also very powerful” – Pastor Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. 

“This highly commendable publication is a must in the collection of all serious students of history, more so anyone with an Africentric outlook.” – Basil Walter – The Sunday Observer
