Many elements of Rastafari reflects it’s origins in Jamaica along with Ethiopian culture. Ethiopian Christianity traces it's roots to the Church of Alexandria, founded by St. Mark. Rastafari holds many Christian beliefs like the existence of a triune God, who sent his divine corporeal son to Earth in the form of Jesus Christ and he made himself manifest as the religious person of Haile Selassie.

Rastafari accepts much of the Bible, although they believe that its message and interpretation have been corrupted. Some Rastafari does not affirm any sect or denomination, and they encourage each other to find faith and inspiration within themselves, although some strongly believe with one of the "Mansions of Rastafari." The three most prominent of these include the Nyabinghi, the Bobo Ashanti and the Tribes of Israel.
