The Black Clergy's Misguided Worship Leadership

The Black Clergy's Misguided Worship Leadership,



This book is an incisive analysis showing why and how the

black community's worship of Jesus Christ, Christianity's

White male idol, is a subliminal, underlying cause of the high

incarceration rates among young Black males. Citing cogent

historical, educational, and behavioral reasons, Dr. Bell

explains why the worship of the ancient Roman, Constantine-

certified, white male idol Jesus Christ is misguided and afflicts

black people with a deleterious white superiority syndrome.

Dr Bell explains further how such worship spiritually

emasculates and socially demeans black manhood and how

many young black men intuitively react in ways that lead to

high rates of delinquencies, violence, crime, and incarceration.

In this book, Dr. Bell petitions the black clergy to stop this

misguided worship and start teaching black people a new

Christianity that espouses a "Worship only God, the source and

sustainer of life" message and honors but does not worship

prophet Jesus. Dr. Bell argues that this new Christianity will

liberate black people from the damaging psychological effects

of their white-male worshipping folkways. He also argues that

the new Christianity will end the spiritual emasculation and

disrespect imposed on young black men by the old

Constantine-certified Christianity and will thus mediate

downward the high rates of delinquencies, violence, and

incarceration among young black men. Dr. Bell asserts that

unless the black clergy takes the actions requested in his

petition, black people will forever think of themselves as

inferior to white people and many, angry young Black men will

continue their plight and plunge toward incarceration.
