5.0 out of 5 stars This book is packed with priceless "hidden" history!, December 31, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: From the Garden of Eden to America (Paperback)
"The Body of Christ has been inundated with a spirit of religion. This spirit has illegally infiltrated the Church and is causing a stalemate between us and the goals God has mandated for us. Satan has unleased the demon of the spirit of religion to seed the mentality of believers. This, in turn, can destroy the churh and hinder the harvest of souls. In addition, the spirit of religion strives to slow down the return of Jesus Christ. The spirit of religion is defined as a spirit of complacency or a force that makes us relax and let our guards down."

This review is from: From the Garden of Eden to America (Paperback)
One word comes to mind in discussing this book- WOW! Dr. Hobbs has done an extremely excellent job of gathering and organizing all the information and resources in this book. The biblical history of the black culture a definitive amalgamation and prognostication of the black church with a deep acumen into the social and psychological position of the black person regarding their religions. This book is an exhaustive history of the roots of black religion and early black religious leaders in the United States. It digs up and disseminates much of the "hidden" history of the black religious culture. The listing of resources is exhaustive and the subject more thoroughly discussed and investigated than in any previous work on Black religion. Bravo to Dr. Hobbs !
