| Résumé : | The continuing revival of traditional African religion presents an unavoidable challenge to Africa Christianity. While Africans today are being exposed to modem education, traditional thought is still the source of the basic world-view of most of the people. The growing Christian population is certainly not exempt from such influences. The factors alone give adequate justification why African Christians must renew their attention to African traditional religion. The purpose of this book is to provide a constructive critical approach to African traditional religion from the standpoint of Christian faith. |
