About this ebook
Jeremy Tubbs, known for his diverse background as an author, producer, and entrepreneur, uses this book to question the systems of power, vanity, and materialism that dominate society, particularly within religious contexts.

The book is not just a theological analysis but also a personal journey. Jeremy presents his thoughts and insights on how people, particularly Black people, have been affected by historical depictions of Jesus and how these images and beliefs can be distorted, yet still hold immense influence over people’s lives.
"Black Jesus" challenges readers to reflect on the authenticity of the narratives they've been taught and the power they hold in their own understanding of truth. It invites readers to question, explore, and potentially break free from the constraints of conventional religious teachings.

About the author
"Black Jesus" by Jeremy Tubbs is an introspective and bold exploration of religion, spirituality, and cultural identity. In this book, Jeremy challenges the traditional narratives surrounding Jesus Christ, specifically the widely accepted image of a white Jesus. He delves into the significance of names, examining how names hold power and the impact that the changing of names—like from Yeshua to Jesus—can have on beliefs and spiritual practices.
