Book Description

June 1989
A selection and retranslation of the oldest sacred text in the world, with critical commentaries on the richness of the African spiritual achievement and legacy in ancient Egypt. In this selection we read the earliest written record of the dawning of humanity's structured consciousness concerning spirituality and ethics. Here we find, for the first time in human history, the concepts of Maat (truth, justice, rightness), humans in the image of God, human dignity, judgment after death, free will, immortality of the soul, human equality, and social justice.

This review is from: Selections from the Husia: Sacred Wisdom of Ancient Egypt (Paperback)
I must read for comparison and contrast of sacred text. Karenga is unequalled in his re-interpretation. You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!!, January 31, 2006
This review is from: Selections from the Husia: Sacred Wisdom of Ancient Egypt (Paperback)
Karenga has done a wonderful piece in the Husia! I take this book as a counteraction to all self-help books by modern authors. Of who most of them have had some sort of power in one area or another. But who better for Africans to read than our own people of power about how to realize their blessings and priviledges that the Most High has put upon them in any given sitution. I love this book because it translate African minds of the past when power and domination was our footstool. And how we didn't use these blessings to produce negative thinking and action. And how we always gave prasie to the one who help bestowed those great achievements for us. I take this book as a holistic mental and emotional playbook. To see any sitution better side! And to remind us that nothing is new under ATEN-RA. And if you stay in the heights of the positive you would be able to see clearer all the blessing we have! TUA NTR KARENGA!!!
