Description:
Holy Fahamme Gospel or Divine Understanding is a scarce religious and esoteric text by Prof. Paul Nathaniel Johnson, founder-prophet of the Fahamme movement. Subtitled The Key to All Bibles and Cultures and The Holy Book of Ham-Al Kem, the work presents the teachings of Fahamme as a system of divine understanding drawing on African, Kemetic, Islamic, biblical and esoteric religious ideas.
This 1968 second edition is a highly unusual survival from a little-documented Black American new religious movement. It will be of interest to collectors and researchers of African American religion, alternative Islam in America, Kemetic spirituality, occult religion, esoteric Christianity, Moorish and post-Moorish movements, and 20th-century self-published spiritual texts.
About the Author:
Paul Nathaniel Johnson, also known within the Fahamme tradition as the Fahamme Prophet or Fahamme Ra Rasool, was an African American religious teacher associated with early 20th-century Islam, Ahmadiyya influence, Kemetic spirituality and esoteric religious teachings. The Fahamme Temple describes him as the prophet of Amun-Ra and identifies the Holy Fahamme Gospel as the holy book of the Fahamme movement.
