It examines his many books and speeches in order to provide a comprehensive introduction to his thought in the context of African American and Jewish contemporaries and precursors. Without shying away from difficult arguments about the nature of the slave trade, racism, and American history, the text introduces Ben Ammi's understanding of the nature of God, the agency and 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 and construct a new, spirit-infused metaphysics. 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 centre as a part of nature."--Back cover.;

Abstract	"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 African American and Jewish contemporaries and precursors. Without shying away from difficult arguments about the nature of the slave trade, racism, and American history, the text introduces Ben Ammi's understanding of the nature of God, the agency and 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 and construct a new, spirit-infused metaphysics. 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 centre as a part of nature."--Back cover.
