Introduction to African Religion (African Writers Series)
This revision of a standard text ( LJ 7/75) provides an excellent overview of native religion in Africa. It also offers a useful and up-to-date list of books for more advanced reading, questions for each chapter, and a collection of wise sayings to illustrate oral tradition. The comprehensiveness of the treatment of where African religion is found, the discussion of its god, spirits, and cosmology, and of how human life is related to the religion make this book especially helpful to those familiar only with religions having sacred scriptures. Highly recommended for all libraries, whether or not they have the earlier edition.Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
