About This Item
Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2009. Hardcover. New/New. An insightful academic work on African spiritual practice and Christianity. Gerrie ter Haar, founding member of the African Association for the Study of Religions, discusses how indigenous spiritual beliefs in Africa have interacted with Christianity. Other topics such as human rights and global development are linked to her discussion of Christianity. This academic work has been described as "provid[ing] new insight into the processes by which Africans refashioned Christianity to conform to Africa's unique spiritual needs while remaining faithful to the message of the Bible." (Ousmane Kobo, African Studies Review). The first chapters of the book describe African spiritual beliefs and the unique aspects of African Christianity, and the second half of the book considers the effects of these religious beliefs on African society and the diaspora.
