The African Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem and Ben Ammi’s Theology of Marginalisation and Reorientation

What is it about?

This is an indepth analysis of the thought and theology of Ben Ammi, spiritual leader of the African Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem (a Black Hebrew Israelite group who left America and have lived in Israel since 1969). Herein I argue that Ben Ammi utilises some of the same concepts as Liberation Theology, but with a very specific twist which locates Black Americans at the forefront of the historical narrative.
