This early pamphlet is Jackson's first discussion of this important topic, one that he would go on to elaborate upon for the remainder of his life.

Dr. Jackson explores African culture and reveals how the elements that went into the makings of Christianity did in fact exist thousands of years before the religion 'Christianity' was officially established.
