African Religion in the Dialogue Debate, 3 Laurenti Magesa

Dialogue between traditional African religions and other world religions has, regrettably, been a much neglected area in formal religious discourse in Africa to date. This book is probably the first deliberate, extensive, and well-argued attempt by an African theologian to fill this unfortunate lacuna. How can Christian and African spiritualities interact with and enrich each other on the basis of mutual respect? This is the fundamental question of dialogue discussed in the pages of this book.
