Black Hebrew Israelites Hardback
by Michael T. Miller
Part of the Elements in New Religious Movements series
Hardback
Description
The Black Hebrew Israelite movement claims that African Americans are descendants of the Ancient Israelites and has slowly become a significant force in African American religion.
This Element provides a general overview of the BHI movement, its diverse history/ies, ideologies, and practices.
The Element shows how different factions and trends have taken the forefront at different periods over its 140-year history, leading to the current situation where diverse iterations of the movement exist alongside each other, sharing some core concepts while differing widely.
In particular, the questions of how and why BHI has become a potent and attractive movement in recent years are addressed, arguing that it fulfils a specific religious need to do with identity and teleology, and represents a new and persistent form of Abrahamic religion.
