Book Voice of the Ancestors  Removing the Shackles and Chains from Your Mind

Download or read book Voice of the Ancestors Removing the Shackles and Chains from Your Mind written by Chase McGhee and published by Chase McGhee. This book was released on 2019-03-20 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Going through life as a Black person, it can often seem, with good reason, that the system is rigged against you. You're basically forced to play life on hard mode with no end or reward in sight, walking on eggshells when interacting with the wider world and having to question if you will ever be good enough. Sometimes—especially if you're focused on improving yourself—you're forced to prove yourself to both subordinates, peers and superiors that you're more than your "less than ideal" background. But it doesn't have to be this way. In this powerful guide to self-improvement designed for black people, Chase McGhee has taken it upon himself to carefully re-educate and re-acquaint every black man, woman and child with our history and open your eyes to our collectively vast potential just waiting to be tapped. With profound insights into black history, economics and culture that has yet to be taught on a systemic level, Voice of the Ancestors is a book that is full of unconventional, yet effective solutions for problems that we've been forced to deal with as a race, providing people of color everywhere with a solid foundation their consciousness needed to build a strong, prosperous black culture.

Download or read book Christianity Is an African Religion written by Donald Henry Matthews, Ph.d. and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book affirms that Christianity was based on Black Egyptian African Spirituality. This fact has been obscured, hidden and ignored by the impact of White Christian Religious Racism. Prior to the development of modern racism, with the beginning of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and its Rapetalistic Ideology of Racial, Sexual and Economic Oppression, it was widely accepted that African Spirituality was the basis for the major theological and ethical perspectives found in the Western religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Due to Institutional Racism these facts have been withheld or misrepresented by our educational institutions. This miseducation serves to support racist ideas of Black Inferiority and White Supremacy that are used to oppress Americans of African descent. Black Egyptian Africans were the original recipients and developers of the revelations of theological and ethical concepts that defined the Western Religious Traditions. Concepts such as: Monotheism, Moral Codes, Eternal Life, Resurrection, A Dying and Rising Savior, Power of the Divine Feminine, and Scripture are just a few of the fundamental truths that these ancient Black African priests and scribes gave to the world which were then used to develop Western Religions. The book is based on an article written by Dr. Donald H. Matthews in the Journal of the American Academy of Religion (JAAR), the official professional journal of the American Academy of Religion. This book It is written in a style that makes it accessible to the general public. The afore mentioned article is reprinted for the benefit of the scholarly community and for those who wish to delve further into the subject.

Book African Religions  A Very Short Introduction

Download or read book African Religions A Very Short Introduction written by Jacob K. Olupona and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-14 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are African religions? African Religions: A Very Short Introduction answers this question by examining primarily indigenous religious traditions on the African continent, as well as exploring Christianity and Islam. It focuses on the diversity of ethnic groups, languages, cultures, and worldviews, emphasizing the continent's regional diversity. Olupona examines a wide range of African religious traditions on their own terms and in their social, cultural, and political contexts. For example, the book moves beyond ethnographic descriptions and interpretations of core beliefs and practices to look at how African religion has engaged issues of socioeconomic development and power relations. Olupona examines the myths and sacred stories about the origins of the universe that define ethnic groups and national identities throughout Africa. He also discusses spiritual agents in the African cosmos such as God, spirits, and ancestors. In addition to myths and deities, Olupona focuses on the people central to African religions, including medicine men and women, rainmakers, witches, magicians, and divine kings, and how they serve as authority figures and intermediaries between the social world and the cosmic realm. African Religions: A Very Short Introduction discusses a wide variety of religious practices, including music and dance, calendrical rituals and festivals, celebrations for the gods' birthdays, and rituals accompanying stages of life such as birth, puberty, marriage, elderhood, and death. In addition to exploring indigenous religions, Olupona examines the ways Islam and Christianity as outside traditions encountered indigenous African religion. He shows how these incoming faith traditions altered the face and the future of indigenous African religions as well as how indigenous religions shaped two world religions in Africa and the diaspora. Olupona draws on archaeological and historical sources, as well as ethnographic materials based on fieldwork. He shows that African religions are not static traditions, but have responded to changes within their local communities and to fluxes caused by outside influences, and spread with diaspora and migration.
