Synopsis
In this ground-breaking work, An Introduction to the Elijah Muhammad Series: The New Educational Paradigm, a new field of study is being introduced. The book attempts to lay a foundation for situating the teachings of Elijah Muhammad in academia, creating a field of study that particularly extrapolates the jewels of Muhammad's teachings. In a rare opportunity, scholars and lay persons are given a sneak preview of the teachings of Elijah Muhammad and its multifaceted, interdisciplinary scope. This book has the potential to change the philosophical and practical methods of education.
