Synopsis

Do Black Folk Still Need White Jesus? is a bold and necessary examination of one of the most overlooked influences on faith, identity, and power in the Black community.

For centuries, a Europeanized image of Jesus has been presented as truth; repeated, normalized, and rarely questioned. But what happens when that image is examined?

This book challenges readers to think critically about how representation shapes belief, and how belief, in turn, shapes identity, confidence, and outcomes.

Through history, culture, religion, and lived experience, this work explores:

  • How the image of Jesus changed and became Europeanized
  • The role of power, colonization, and cultural influence
  • The psychological and internal impact of representation
  • The connection between faith, identity, and self-perception
  • What history and context reveal about Jesus and his world

This is not a rejection of faith.

It is a call to examine it.

Because when belief goes unexamined, it is inherited.
But when it is understood—it becomes intentional.

This is more than a question.
It’s a reckoning.
