The Holy Piby by Robert Athlyi Rogers
"The Holy Piby" by Robert Athlyi Rogers is a religious text written in the 1920s. Created for an Afrocentric religion in the West Indies, it presents Africans as God's chosen people and preaches self-reliance and self-determination. The work identifies Marcus Garvey and other prominent figures as divine apostles. Though not originally a Rastafari text, it became a foundational document that profoundly influenced the Rastafari movement's theology and vision. (This is an automatically
