Jack Hill connects the dots between what Jesus said long ago and what we experience now in a radically new way by linking the voice of Jesus to unheard voices of contemporary, largely marginalised, social and political movements.

Originating in Jamaica in the 1930s, Rastafari is one of the most significant yet least understood new religious movements of the 20th century, having been marginalized and having received little serious study. Johnson-Hill argues that Rastafari represents a transformative consciousness which is paradigmatic of a unique social ethic reflecting a distinctive self-understanding, lifestyle, and center of values.
