In what arguably could be called the first serious study of the Christafari phenomenon, Messian Dread tells the story of his seven yearlong research into this controversy. He reports from the frontline he’s been on from 2001 until 2004, studying and communicating Christafarians on their own ground. By analysing publications and where necessary getting additional information, digging through the distractions and contradictions, a bigger picture comes to the surface which has never before been so clearly exposed. From Christafari to Christafarianism to Christafarian, what you will find in this heavily documented and footnoted essay is that this carefully created culture turns out to be an Evangelical caricature of Rastafarian culture which puts Evangelical and Rastafarian Christians in a totally unnecessary state of war with each other and amongst themselves. A MUST READ for Rastafarians, Evangelicals and Christafarians!
