"The Holy Piby: The Blackman's Bible" by Robert Athlyi Rogers is a seminal work within the Rastafarian movement, revered as a foundational text that sheds light on the spiritual journey of people of African descent. Originally published in the early 20th century, this profound manuscript articulates a unique perspective on religion, history, and the destiny of the Black race.
Within its pages, Rogers presents a narrative that emphasizes the importance of African heritage and spirituality, offering insights into the divine significance of Ethiopia and the rightful place of Black people in the world. Drawing upon biblical scriptures and ancient African wisdom, "The Holy Piby" presents a compelling argument for the recognition of Black identity and empowerment.
As a cornerstone of Rastafarian theology, this book has inspired generations to reclaim their cultural heritage and embrace a spirituality rooted in liberation and self-realization. It continues to resonate with readers seeking deeper understanding and connection to their roots, making it an essential text for those exploring African diasporic spirituality and the quest for social justice.
Description; The Holy Piby was written by Robert Athlyi Rogers, who founded an Afrocentric religion in the US and West Indies in the 1920s. Rogers' religious movement, the Afro Athlican Constructive Church, saw Ethiopians (in the Biblical sense of Black Africans) as the chosen people of God, and proclaimed Marcus Garvey, the prominent Black Nationalist, an apostle. The church preached self-reliance and self-determination for Africans. The original is very rare. There are no copies listed in either the Library of Congress or the University of California catalogs, which is highly unusual. The The Holy Piby was banned in Jamaica and other Caribbean Islands in the middle and late 1920s. Today the The Holy Piby is acclaimed by many Rastafarians as a primary source.
