Reviews
This book was a delight to read for its lucidity and clarity of expression and ideas. It is an original work based on long term fieldwork which, to the best of this reviewer’s judgment, was meticulously carried out. The author demonstrates more than adequate familiarity and comprehension of contemporary sociological and anthropological theories of religion relevant to Africa. - Asonzeh Ukah, University of Bayreuth, Germany.
