About the Book

Anyone familiar with the Rastafari movement and its connection with the Bible is struck by the prevalence of messianic I-locution found in both. As the phenomenon is important in the canonical Testaments, more so within the New Testament, this study seeks to investigate its significance in certain epistolary pieces (Romans 7:14-25 ; 15:14-33), the bio-Narratives and the Apocalypse in their historical and cultural milieu. The next stage of the investigation then compares the findings of the aforementioned New Testament books with corresponding statements of the Rasta community, in order to determine their relevance for the ongoing Anglophone theological enterprise. In sum, this study seeks to bring into critical dialogue the permutative messianic 'I' of the New Testament with the self-understanding of Rastafari.

About the Author :
Delano Vincent Palmer, ThD, UNISA, is a graduate of STETHS, MBI, Carver Bible College, Cornerstone University, and CGST. He presently serves as a senior lecturer of the Jamaica Theological Seminary, and is a Bible teacher at Swallowfield Chapel in Kingston, JA. He also serves as an evangelist with the Christian Ambassadors Footballers United (CAFU), and is the author of Spiritual Gifts: An Appraisal of Positions among Christian Brethren in Jamaica (Ann Arbor, MI: UMI, 1989) and New Testament Theology in Context (Kingston, Jahmekyah: DeoVolente, 2008).

Review :
In this book the author brings together for the first time in creative juxtaposition the Hellenistic Greek lexicon of the New Testament and that of Rastafari, the only bona fide world religious movement indigenous to Jamaica. What emerges is the possibility, long overlooked, of the influence of the former (the lexicon of the New Testament) on the latter (language of Rastafari). For this reason his study constitutes an important contribution to the larger and ongoing discussion about the vibrant relationship between the Bible and the various contexts in which it is received, appropriated and indigenized worldwide.
