Many Africans today declare themselves to be Christians but still remain followers of their traditional African religions, especially in matters concerning the inner dimensions of their lives. It is evident that, in strictly personal matters relating to such issues as passage rites and crises, most Africans turn to their African traditional religions. As an incarnational faith, part of the history of Christianity has been its encounter with other cultures and its becoming deeply rooted in some of these cultures. The central question remains: Why has the Christian faith not taken deep root in Africa? This volume is concerned with answering this question. 410 0$aIntercultural theology and study of religions ;$v2. 606 $aChristianity and culture$zAfrica 606 $aChristianity$zAfrica 606 $aIgbo (African people)$xReligion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristianity and culture 615 0$aChristianity 615 0$aIgbo (African people)$xReligion. 676 $a305.89669 700 $aUdeani$b Chibueze C$0929238 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452072603321 996 $aInculturation as dialogue$92088479 997 $aUNINA
