Felix Murove discusses how these two concepts are entwined, and illustrates how they play a role in applied ethical issues. He argues that the general understanding of spirituality in Africa stems from Christianity, which has had a negative impact on African indigenous spirituality. The conceptual tools that run throughout the book are considerably Afro-centric, a methodological strategy which inevitably requires the reader to adopt some prior willingness to learn these Afro-centric concepts without easily resorting to western Christian and philosophical categories of thought. The book advocates for an Afro-centric conceptualization of spirituality and ethics, and encourages the reader to adopt a more holistic approach to African spirituality. Munyaradzi Felix Murove is a research associate at the University of the Free State, South Africa. 606 $aAfrica$xReligion 606 $aAnthropology of religion 606 $aEthics 606 $aEthnology$zAfrica 606 $aCulture 606 $aAfrican Religions 606 $aAnthropology of Religion 606 $aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics 606 $aAfrican Culture 615 0$aAfrica$xReligion. 615 0$aAnthropology of religion. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aAfrican Religions. 615 24$aAnthropology of Religion. 615 24$aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics. 615 24$aAfrican Culture. 676 $a170.96 700 $aMurove$b Munyaradzi Felix$0977652 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910799236703321 996 $aAfrican Spirituality and Ethics$93871221 997 $aUNINA
