Customer Review #1:
 well documented and researched
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.

Customer Review #2:
Dr.Ben at his best
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.Bens 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.

Customer Review #3:
 This is not scholarship
If you have already chosen to think that "racist" white academics and theologians have been covering up the "truth," then this book will serve to confirm that which you have already chosen to believe. So buy it, read it, and remain convinced. It wont change your mind, nor will it provide you with any verifiable facts about anything at all. But if you are looking not for facts but instead for esteem-building mythology and fanciful tall tales, this is the book for you.If, on the other hand, you actually have some interest in the ancient world and in the origins of modern religion, do not waste your time or money on this or any other work by the notoriously counterfactual Dr. Ben. Start elsewhere.
