African Traditional Religions Revisited : Dynamics in Indigenous Religions in 21st Century Africa

Zusatztext

This volume shares in the increasing recognition of the intricate relationship between religious practices and other social phenomena. Therefore, the authors undertake the study of ATRs within the context of other societal factors. BiAS 43/ ERA 16 reflects on the dynamics of the study of ATRs, the possible methodologies that can be employed for an analysis, and how the motif of continuity and change is captured in different contexts. The chapters cover ATRs dynamic history up to now, changes in its relationship with Christianity, ATRs social transformations, ATR and ethics, and ATR and health issues. The book is dedicated to the memory of the great Malawian scholar Joseph Chaphadzika Chakanza (1943-2019). The editors and authors: Louis NDEKHA (ed.) (Malawi) - Rhodian MUNYENYEMBE (ed.)
