What is Not Sacred? African Spirituality

Description

Did Christianity replace traditional African spirituality with the arrival of European missionaries in past centuries? or did sub-Saharan African cultures maintain their religious worldviews and distinctive spirituality even after accepting the salvific message of Christianity? In this compelling book, Laurenti Magesa argues that despite missionary Christianity's refusal to acknowledge the worth of traditional African spiritual practices and religious culture, the incarnational spirituality of those cultures remains vibrant and visible today, and has much to offer and teach other cultures, both Christianity and not.
