The New Ship of Zion explores the dynamic Diaspora dimensions of the African Hebrew Israelites; a spiritual movement of African Americans who have traced their roots to Zion. With the successful establishment of thriving model communities in Israel and Ghana they have built up a framework for repatriation to the motherland. The resulting constructions of ethnic and cultural identity are the subjects of this book. It also sheds light on the ideological concepts of other communities that travel the same waters as the New Ship of Zion; such as the Rastafarians.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The starting point for all contemporary study of JudithBy David deSilvaWhat a delight to have a thoroughly updated commentary on this important apocryphal book. The fine commentary by Carey Moore has had to sustain me since its publication in 1985; I am so glad to have been able to access this commentary; which was invaluable to me as I worked to create a revised edition of my own "Introducing the Apocrypha" this past Fall. The introduction provides in-depth discussions of all the traditional subjects; the commentary is richly detailed and thoroughly conversant with scholarship on Judith.
