Roots History

Contrary to competing popular beliefs, police violence against African Americans has neither remained unchanged since the era of slavery nor is it a recent phenomenon disconnected from the past. In Bluecoated Terror, Jeffrey S. Adler draws on rich archival accounts to show how racialized police brutality is part of a larger system of state oppression with roots in the early twentieth-century South, particularly New Orleans.

Il libro rivela le radici del cristianesimo nell’Antico Egitto sia dal punto di vista storico che spirituale. Dimostra che i racconti sul “Gesù storico” si basano interamente sulla vita e la morte del faraone egizio Tutankhamon; e che il “Cristo della fede” e i principi cristiani sono tutti di origine egizia, quali l’essenza degli insegnamenti/messaggi e le feste religiose.

Dieses Hörbuch wird beweisen, dass der historische Jesus und der Jesus des Glaubens sowie die Grundzüge des Christentums alle ihren Ursprung im Alten Ägypten haben.

Und zweitens wird die Erklärung der ursprünglichen Wurzeln des Christentums im Alten Ägyptischen Kontext den Idealismus des Christentums bereichern.
