The African continent is home to more than 6,000 different ethnic and cultural groups, each with its own religious traditions. Yet these many traditions have much in common, including an almost universal belief in a supreme being, a close interconnection between the sacred and nonsacred, and a reliance on oral tradition to transmit teachings and beliefs down through the generations. Now in full color, African Traditional Religion, Third Edition offers a fresh perspective on the beliefs that are a permanent part of Africa's history and future.
