5.0 out of 5 stars Reading this book has changed my life forever. 1 July 2012
By Osanobua
Amazon Verified Purchase
I grew up in a Christian catholic and protestant family, both on my mother's side. I have an Uncle who is a Roman Catholic priest and an aunty who is a Nun. I was a christian for the first 17 years of my life and deep inside my soul I always felt that there was more to life and "religion" than I had been led to believe. Going to church just felt like being a member of another social club. In time my soul lost interest and wanted more. Thankfully I discovered Dr Ben's book and my life has never been the same.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr.Ben at his best 12 Sep 2002
By "know_thyself_first" - Published on Amazon.com
I must say if you read one Dr.Ben book you read them all. However the African Origins of Major Western Religion is on of Dr.Ben's greatest works. Dr.Ben explains the ideologies of Christianity,Islam, and Judism confronting the fact that all of these religions are based on African Spiritual concepts. He shows in an easy to understand manner the stolen concepts that europeans have used for their imperilistic benefit. This book will make you question why it is you believe what you believe as well as where do you stand as a human being in the universe. I highly recommend this book to all students of African history, and Religious concepts.

5.0 out of 5 stars real research for real people 11 Sep 2005
By Diana Wilson - Published on Amazon.com
Possibly one of the best books written of its kind. The author links various Afrikan pagan spiritual faiths and gods to each other (JuJu, Voodoo, Odemare, Sun Worship, Afrikan holy trinity) to all the major western religions, as well as to music such as jazz and gospel. It is comprehensive in scope and very historical in perspective, examining each major religions relationships by chapter. One thing for sure, is that there is not one single religion on earth conceived, invented, maintained, helped along without Afrikans as major players, real and mythological to help spread the gospel and make modern religion what it is today. The author gives excellent bibliographical references for those who are critics to see for themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars well documented and researched 26 May 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Another classical researched body of work by DR. Yosef ben Yochannan. he deals with the early african origins of judaism (hebrew faith) Christianity and islam. He shows how the ten commandments were extracted from the 147 confessions so called "negative confessions" as well as african folklore nad mythology that went into the making of these so called "western religion" he deals with early african character who played critical roles in the early development of "judaism", christianity and islam. such characters as st. Cyprian, Tertullian, St. Augustine. Bilal ibn rabah, Al-jahiz and Ibrahim al Mahdi. this work is in depth and well researched. it should be read by all, but of course only by some.
