When God Wore Chains

Description

We were not just taught what to believe. We were trained how not to think.

For generations, Caribbean people were shaped by a system of Christianity that enforced obedience, normalized fear, and silenced questions.

Dr. Mark Daniel once preached it as truth.

Now he dismantles it.

When God Wore Chains is a direct, evidence-based examination of how Christianity, as it came to the Caribbean, functioned as a system of control. Drawing on history, theology, psychology, and lived experience, Daniel exposes structures that outlived slavery and still shape how people think, fear, worship, obey, and see themselves.

This book is not a shallow attack on belief. It is a serious investigation into the relationship between Christianity, colonisation, slavery, racial hierarchy, and the psychological conditioning of Caribbean people.

Written by a former pastor and ordained Apostle who spent more than thirty years inside the church before deconstructing his faith, this work speaks to believers, ex-Christians, skeptics, scholars, and anyone who has ever felt the tension between inherited faith and honest questions.

You do not have to agree.

But you will not leave thinking the same way.

Because once you see the chains, you cannot unsee them.
