Summary
Details

As the title implies, the topic of this book is the different religious practices originating from Africa. Some African religions show similarities in beliefs and practices. However, as you'll soon learn, different African territories and their cultures have been home to many different religious beliefs. Each historical African territory has its own tale to tell and traditions that accompany it. While some are unchanged, others have adapted to the changing times.

These belief systems play a crucial role in the spirituality of African nations throughout their history. They allowed them to express and maintain their spiritual heritage in good times, even the most trying ones. You'll also learn that besides the differences stemming from cultural backgrounds, African religions were also influenced by Christianity, Islam, and other belief systems introduced to African people from other parts of the world. However, the colorful African beliefs have also left their mark on other religions.
