What if the image of Jesus you've always known was a lie?

For centuries, the Western world has promoted a whitewashed image of Jesus—blonde-haired, blue-eyed, and European. The distortion has not only shaped art and theology but also justified colonisation, slavery, and the systemic dehumanisation of Black and Brown people.
However, the honest Jesus—the Jesus of history and Scripture—was a Man of colour. A poor, Afro-Asiatic Jew born in occupied Palestine, hidden in Egypt, and raised in Nazareth.
In this bold and eye-opening book, Dr. Taiwo Rotimi dismantles the colonial myth and reclaims the true identity of Jesus Christ. With historical insight, biblical clarity, and a prophetic call to justice, he challenges the Church to confront uncomfortable truths and embrace the liberating power of an authentic, inclusive Gospel.
