William David Spencer

Dread Jesus is like an unraveling mystery. There's a constant tension throughout the book (at least there was for me) as it created an information gap then revealed the answer in the next few pages. Again and again. It kept me reading.

I do have an issue with this book however. While Spencer exhaustively showed the evolution of Rastafarian Christianity or 'Rootsman Christianity' to the present day, he didn't do the same service for LDS Mormonism and therefore misrepresented the current LDS doctrine. I took a star off for that.

I talk more about the book and Rastafari religion on Jesus in Books: http://jesusinbooks.com/black-jesus-rastafari/… (mais)
